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

Chrome is popular because of inertia. I was a huge Mozilla fan for years, until it became unusable. Chrome was the only choice and noticeably more performant. Since then, there hasn’t been sufficient reason to redirect that inertia. Yes, that was quite a few years ago. Lots of inertia

IE being utter shit + Microsoft's anti-competitive practices definitely helped Google start it's browser monopoly.
