I really puzzles me how could anyone have ever trusted Chrome.

  I've never trusted Chrome but it was (and still is to a degree) faster and more secure than Firefox, so here we are

    > more secure than Firefox How so?

      For example for a long time Firefox didn't have process separation, sandboxing, etc. Basic features. I don't know how it is now

        IIRC, that's all in place, and has been for quite a while.

          Another reason is that the official Firefox builds for at least GNU/Linux doesn't employ standard exploit mitigations (stack canaries, position independent code, read-only GOT).

  Originally when they created a webkit (instead of blink) engine, it was a bit more above-board. But then hubris and greed have done their usual job now that Chrome is the default. Personally browse using Safari + FF on macOS.
