This. These kinds of posts always make me roll my eyes. Frequently they get hundreds of upvotes. Makes me wonder about the quality of submissions from the fields I understand much less (sciences, humanities, politics, etc.).

Switching to Firefox will not save you. I recently found out that Firefox sends a request to safebrowsing.clients.google.com for every page I visit. I found out how to disable it, but it wasn't straightforward and there were still requests
