OK, I will concede that this is an option that I did not know about.
However, it seems complex and fiddly to me. Chrome works very well and
does not require this. I already use a Gmail address and an Android
phone; Google knows my every move.

As Scott McNeally said in about 1996:

"You *have* no privacy on the Internet. Get over it."

It's a public place. It is *the* ultimate public place. It is not
possible to be private online, so why waste time on doomed, futile
efforts?
