Seriously curious what sites those are, especially if it's not the same page every day. It literally never occurs to me (using Firefox again since 3-4 years) but I mostly browse dev-related websites.

Some startup websites I applied to.

Yeah. It's victim blaming. Reminds me of "they should have shouted louder". The confusing thing is the crime itself is small on an individual level. The question is: does it add up cumulatively if a small crime is committed against many?
I don't know if it's "Victim Blaming"...I teach Digital Literacy courses for seniors new to technology. While I do set them up with Firefox and Ublock, we generally have them use Gmail as they are all Android Devices.

"But what if I don't want my own computer to build and share a detailed profile of everyone I know, everywhere I go, all my preferences, and how to manipulate me?" "Well obviously it's your fault for not picking the 'Don't Be Cool' option on subpage 27b-6, duh !"

What's stopping you? I use both browsers and I see no reason why someone would pick Chrome over Firefox at this point in time.
