With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

I cannot be 100% certain but I'm confident I was using it not long after the 1.0 release. That'd put me at 2004. 19 years!

Although I did briefly switch over to Chrome when it was new and fast. Then switched back when Firefox had a major optimization pass.

The early Chrome was crazy fast when it had none of the bloat.
