Should I uninstall Google Chrome browser on iMac?

I stopped using Google browser a bit back on uncertainty about privacy, and Firefox and Safari seems adequate.  but I still have the browser installed just in case.  But I was wondering if I could release some necessary on disk, memory, or the feature on my older Mac.  In the console, I noticed that there is a constant Google software updates and heard talk of how the software can always be monitoring my activity even when I'm not actively with the browser?  Otherwise I wouldn't mind keeping the browser because it has a record of my last top activities approximately one year, which could be handy if necessary at a later date. [perhaps the browser Google keeps memory of the last windows, tabs, & history so that I can

access to those who are still by reinstalling the browser later if necessary?]

I use an iMac 2009, OS X (10.8.5) Mountain Lion, with a failed hard drive. Someone put in place so that I can run the Mac to an external hard drive until I find a better solution.  But I have to restart my mac once a week to keep its functioning and load quickly, and I'm running out of space on my disk or the backup partition. [Ask if (a non-techie) can configure partitions differently to make more space for backups?]  Until I can get a bigger hard drive]

Any input to any of these questions are greatly appreciated.

Google Chrome takes less than 400 MB. Disconnected no free space so alone, is not a determining factor. If you want to remove it, then do it.

Get another external hard drive and move files to free up space on your startup disk.

If you want advice on partitions, you must provide information about what you currently have Setup.
