Why uses spying Chrome anyway?

Me, because it is required by my employer for corporate account sync, Google Meet calls and other corporate shit.

Nevertheless everything else is done in Firefox as it always was for last 15 years

Isn't chrome (chromium) one of the best browser in terms of security?

On linux we have bubblewrap/flatpak/flatseal which helps immensly for security, but many people still use their repo's browser which isn't really sandboxed.
