With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

Yeah, chrome is genuinely disgusting in terms of blatant privacy violations. They aren't there as a browser, they're there to collect and sell as much data as they possibly can, updates are just an excuse to "accidentally reset" privacy settings.

Watch out for Windows doing the same.

I use linux on some machines, and everything else (like my main gaming rig) has debloated windows.
