Chrome/Chromium/Brave are RAM hogs, but the benefits from extensions overwhelmingly outweigh the costs for me, and I outlined some of the unique and very useful extensions I use here and here.
And under Safari 12.1 Apple disabled the ability to disable hyperlink auditing (click-tracking). Although Apple implements protection against cross-site tracking, this new development does permit sites to track what you click on now. Brave (Chromium-based) and Firefox still have the protection on by default. So there are real reasons relating to privacy and productivity that people may have for using Chrome or a Chromium-based browser.
