I've already switched to Firefox. It makes me a little sad that I moved to chrome in the first place. Back then google seemed to care about improving the web experience and moving to open standards. Now they are so dominant, it's the opposite. Its the death of an idealistic internet.

Not just the customers, but the “business partners” too! If you want your search results at the top of the list, pay up! Sometimes you even get to pay for your ad to be shown in a context that’s not relevant at all, despite all the data collected to personalize ads!
