Yep. I moved back to Chrome this week. If my data will be exploited, I may as well use the best browser.

Haha, sadly I agree.
Having to choose between the lesser of two evils is ever increasing and we should not have to be put into these situations, but here we are.
I recommend you try using LibreWolf or Brave
Why Chrome? There are better Chromium based alternatives. Also there are better Firefox based alternatives.
There are just so many hoops one has time to jump through. Most of these derivatives break key extensions or commercial web apps.
The coins and subscription and other stuff on Brave is so annoying. And seemls like you couldn't trust them.
I still use it for work, but I don't really like it much.
LibreWolf is better for me. And I also using a ungoogled chromium.
Firefox is my main Browser at the moment. The sync over all my devices is just to good.
But lets see if I'll switch or not.
I actually noticed at least with nostr:npub1yzvxlwp7wawed5vgefwfmugvumtp8c8t0etk3g8sky4n0ndvyxesnxrf8q -- that uses quite a lot of browser memory -- that Brave was MUCH slower than Chrome. I think Chrome does some magic memory management stuff that they aren't sharing with Chromium.
I was a long-time Brave user, but, really, if they are trying to pump altcoins and other nonsense, can you really trust them?
Ungoogled Chromium exists.
You're better off going back to Firefox then because Chrome is just as guilty.
