Them having my name and address is quite a bit different than Google having the same data (in addition to the mountains of other data-types Google tends to harvest). Switching back to Firefox means your keystrokes are literally handed off to Google in real-time.

"Switching back to Firefox means your keystrokes are literally handed off to Google in real-time."

This is not about me, but about Brave.
