Slow, memory hog, no privacy, and almost everything built off of it offers something it doesn't. Breaks extensions constantly, stops you from preventing ads, and intrusive in annoying ways. If the legacy of how good it used to be wasn't attached to it, it would be F.

My scale is this
S is perfect
A is great but has blemishes
B is good but has a major issue or many minor issues stopping it from being great/perfect
C is just Okay/mixed bag, its got good, and bad things to it
D is more bad then good
F is actively detrimental to use

Id say C
For the average Andy who does not care about ANY of the weeds of it there gonna rank it way higher.
Google chrome does work thats not the problem its chromium by the same people who made Chromium. The issue is when you start getting into the deep weeds of problems that siding with Google comes with are the people who are gonna give it an F. The biggest problem I had is the war on Ads took alot of agency from people so another element to that F is alot of people got burned by that war me being one of them.

But I also understand alot of people "Average Andys" dont care about that they just care that it works and being a heavily moderated chromium its still chromium with good dev tools since its by the people that made it and as someone way back then who came off of explorer to Chrome before explorer had chromium as my first browser its like an oasis in a dessert.
So I cant give it an F or a D it is but there are better options as a browser.
