using Google: Chrome or Safari?

I am challenged by recent Google changes as they apply to using iOS. Should I switch to CHROME? I am a Senior Citizen and don't know how to get started. I am told I can no longer use the MAIL app due to missing components no longer supported on my elderly computer using Monterey Monterey 1. 75. Should I just try to learn Google system?

I use Safari as my primary browser and Firefox or Brave as the secondary when needed. I've stayed away from Chrome as Google had a nasty reputation as a data miner: Google is known to "phone home" with users data as was found out with this new Google Photos service:  Google Photos may be free — but there's still a cost.
