> The Chrome security team is probably the most sophisticated software security team in the industry
Unfortunately the Chrome security team can't provide the kind of security I care about - security from Google's tracking.

If that's true, then I'd rather go down fighting (no matter how futile that is) than willingly give up any more private information to Google. I think the time for pragmatism when it comes to privacy is long over.
But do Chrome's protections also protect you equally from intercession by Google? I just want to clarify this point in my mind.
I'd say yes, unless Chrome has specific backdoors for Google. If that was ever discovered, I'd imagine a huge shitstorm happening.
I think we disagree who to really worry about. I worry more about persistent low-level corporate surveillance more than hacker attacks because while the latter is more acute and can cause great financial harm, the former is whats going to damage my freedom and right to privacy once the government decides it wants to firehose all that data.
