I really puzzles me how could anyone have ever trusted Chrome.

Originally when they created a webkit (instead of blink) engine, it was a bit more above-board.

But then hubris and greed have done their usual job now that Chrome is the default.

Personally browse using Safari + FF on macOS.

I've never trusted Chrome but it was (and still is to a degree) faster and more secure than Firefox, so here we are

For example for a long time Firefox didn't have process separation, sandboxing, etc. Basic features. I don't know how it is now

IIRC, that's all in place, and has been for quite a while.

Another reason is that the official Firefox builds for at least GNU/Linux doesn't employ standard exploit mitigations (stack canaries, position independent code, read-only GOT).
