A bigger takeaway from this blog may be the centralization of information (regardless of the company that does it). I'd be less worried about my browser of choice, and more about my ability to retain ownership of my data. FWIW, I've started self-hosting as much as possible of my 'critical' items, be it at home, or on a VPS. You don't need vast amounts of bandwidth, and it's become much easier to setup over time (OpenVPN, OwnCloud, gitlab, or even just using a NAS with such features). Items that you want to share are a slightly different matter (size, bandwidth, server security, etc), but in general I dislike putting my entire life on social media anyway.
