Google Chrome has ability to also examine and download files on your computer. User beware!

Yep. They secretly search your computer in the name of "anti-virus protection." Not sure this was walked back after disclosure.

Firefox is also fucked, check out Waterfox instead.

Waterfox is good. The new Firefox UI sucks, and older addons doesn't work in it. Pale Moon is also a good option.

Since Version 69 (released this month, Sep 2018), Chrome now logs you into the browser if you are logged into Gmail: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17942252

Who the hell logs into any "Google site"? That's like walking in to a TLA, giving them every bit of your personal paperwork, keys to your door, written permission to search anything/anywhere/anytime, etc.
