  1. Chromium based (which may be a pro or con depending on who you ask).
  2. Their CEO has made homophobic political donations and resigned from Mozilla due to backlash for it.
  3. They have been caught doing shady things like inserting affiliate links into the address bar suggestions.
  4. They use their browser to push their crypto currency, news and other garbage.

These reasons are definitely an eye opener.
