I'll try it, and switch back from Chrome. Never got on with Chrome anyways.

Will give some of these tweaks a try.

I feel myself stuck with chrome, even though I do not like the fact that they steel my surfing data ... I tried to switch back to firefox which I left some 6 years ago, but I did not see any changes since I left it

But yes, Chrome sends too many requests to Google even if you have turned all the privacy-sensitive options off and don't use any of their services. I found it easier to blacklist all their domains using Acrylic DNS Proxy.
