I’ve tried explaining to the Firefox cult that they do a lot of tracking and telemetry by default but they just hurl insults. Time to leave the cult.

tracking and telemetry by Firefox is not even comparable to that of chrome. Google knows you better than you. Firefox’s telemetry used to be solely for improving user experience, and not ads and bullshit.

Now that Firefox’s gonna show us some ads, I think I have to get away from it as a protest

I get a lot of beef for Brave. Any viable alternatives that aren’t derivatives of Chromium or FF but are maintained?

Firefox forks seem to be the best option. Chromium-based browsers still report to Google unless you basically break them.

GNOME Web is mostly ok. It breaks on a few sites and doesn’t have easy extension support.

Yeah that was exactly the conclusion I reached since asking 😅

Webkit based browsers like safari and gnome web are your only options if you don’t want derivatives.
