I don't blame the users here, remember from 2008 to 2012 where chrome ads where plastered on every website. Google knew what it was doing spreading its Trojan horse. I wouldn't have known about the existence of chromium if I wasn't lurking of privacy forums, blame google this time.
I tried to download Chromium but it's a mess. No way a regular user will be able to download and install it. The will to do it will fade pretty quickly
Except that the spyware is so intertwined into Google's products that many websites straight-up break without them. Google Drive won't even let you download stuff with third-party cookies disabled.
