Office of 20 here. Now almost everyone's in agreement that we'll move off Chrome. And we'll recommend our families and friends do the same. This is how Firefox (pre-bloat) gained traction at the expense of IE, and this is how chrome gained traction at the expense of Firefox/IE. And now this is how chrome's market share will decline as tech leaders, journalists and then the public find out how much of a privacy nightmare it really is.

I'm slightly annoyed. I just made the commitment to move back to Linux from Windows 10 last week. I was hoping to at least stick with chromium, now I'm reconsidering that. Now that I think about it, should I really be trusting Android? Is iOS any better? Apple does appear to show some commitment to privacy, but their anti repair stance is crazy. Will I have to switch to custom Android ROM with all the Google services neutered?

  With regards to privacy I trust Apple more than Google, if only for the fact that their business doesn't operate on the principle of violating your privacy.

    >I trust Apple more than Google trust apple to make you pay 500 dollaridoos for broken glass back repair when Samsung makes you pay 50 dollars at max. the apple support tax you have to pay is really insane. doesn't help that they basically want every company to follow their model so they can go even more insane(Right to repair laws)

  I started using an iPhone, partially to get away from google services. I don’t know for sure if I can trust Apple with my data, but on the balance of probabilities I feel slightly safer with the company that makes its revenue from hardware sales, vs the company that makes its revenue from advertising.

Same here. Recommending my family, team and relatives to either use Edge or Firefox. Of 70 of them, 15 switched to FF, 32 to Edge, just after 2 months of me saying.
