with their damned Software Reporter Tool? I have tried a few online
suggestions to disable it without success and if it is deleted it will be
reinstalled the next time Chrome is opened. When the tool runs it will
hog CPU and Memory on my Win 7 system for about 15 minutes, making
the computer so slow that it is almos unuseable. If I stop the process in
Task Manager it will restart a few minutes later.
The offending tool is located in App Data > Local > Google.
Chrome would be my first choice browser without this problem which
has been much complained about online but not resolved.
It seems that more and more software houses are following the MS
telemetry inclusion in their programs but with some you can opt out
with the user settings - Not with Chrome.

I had a look at Brave Browsers website etc.
I don't like their points things (I'm not into games and trophies)
And I don't like their business model

So for me, its a NO
