Why wouldn’t they want more direct control over how content is shared online? They control essentially the only web browser and the internet is more centralized under a few corporations than it ever has been…

I see endless rows of corporate silos and a couple of niche little hobbiest communities off to the side, I do not see an environment where corporations can’t do whatever the hell they want.
Don’t get me wrong, I hope I am wrong, but I don’t think I am.
Absolutely yes. I would recommend Firefox to any and every person complaining about chrome. And for times they have to use chrome, there are alternatives that do various amounts of degoogling. Almost certainly one would be able to reinstate copy/paste.

What other browser?
Firefox, one of its forks, or one of the up and coming ones. Or webkit based ones. Or if on apple, safari.
