So IE 10 is a good browser, several years too late.

IE 10 is NOT a good browser for reasons I already said.

Chrome follows and watches everything you do.

False. Web sites track. Browsers do not. All of my customer's sites track visitors who come to their page with javascript on the site. Almost every site you visit does.

Google is not known for upholding privacy.

False. Google's privacy policies are published, well known, and understood. While there have been errors on their part, the only problem was people perceived them as spying when they were not. Google is the only company that publishes who requests personal data from them. If they were hiding anything, they wouldn't tell you. Their goal is search results and advertising, not you. They don't know or collect anything more about you than what every credit bureau already knows. Probably less. A credit bureau knows how much you make, where you live, where you work, who you're married to, etc. Unless you put that on the internet, Google wouldn't know that, but then everyone else would, too.
