OP isn't asking anything, the title is "Tell HN". It's the person you are responding to that is asking a question.
Asking how to make lead acetate taste just as sweet but not poisonous is also just not possible.

Chrome IS spyware. You're not going to change that. The only effective change is to NOT use Chrome.

I don't disagree necessarily but can you back that up for the people on the fence?
No.

Most people aren't convinced with logic or facts, no matter how damning the evidence is.

Im disinterested in dealing with that and people who you have to 'emotionally play with'.
