Not saying your point is invalid but in the same context Google has access to all your stuff, including correlations to your mobile and location information and is not afraid to share it, as do others ie ISPs, possibly Microsoft.

So for browsers controlling meta data on user end has limited value without rules and laws around user data.

Also: the most invasive parts of the analytics / tracking / privacy-invading aspects of Google Chrome are closed source.

Indeed, it’s quite concerning how little this is discussed or talked about in a lens that’s interesting to the average person.

You can use Chromium.

I don’t use Google Chrome - mostly for that very reason.
