In an op-ed for Forbes, Digital Barriers Founder and CEO Zak Doffman writes the amount of data harvested by Google’s Chrome “is a genuine threat to your privacy.” Doffman says Chrome is “totally out of step” with other browsers in its amount of data collection and should give users “a serious reason to quit.” Google says it collects only data needed to provide its service, but Doffman argues competing applications collect “significantly less data” while offering similar features.
