> Who uses Chrome anyway?

Over 50% of all desktop users [0], or, in other words, hundreds of millions of people.

GP should have asked "Who uses Chrome AND is privacy conscious enough to be interested in this?" Those demographics shouldn't really overlap much. It's like making a product for people who like hanging around in a casino but don't like gambling.

I use Chromium because Firefox's performance is too terrible, but I consider myself privacy-conscious.

They do overlap. I'm privacy conscious but I feel myself forced to use Chrome because the alternative, Firefox, has subpar security features (no sandbox, no process separation) and terrible performance.

Where do you get the binaries? Or do you build it yourself?

I use Ubuntu. I get the binaries out of apt.

Take a look at Palemoon. A Firefox fork with speed in mind. https://www.palemoon.org/
