Chrome is my personal browser of choice. I tried using Firefox on my mac machine, but the user-interface is too ugly. Chrome is much simpler and prettier. Regarding the privacy concerns, I was not aware of that. I rather enjoy Chrome's ability to sync browsing information such as bookmarks.
My phone is usually good at making sure everything is up to date but I'm surprised because this is the first time I'm hearing about this warning.
