I find it comical that people keep recommending Firefox around here. This is the same company that has the following turned on by default:
Allow Firefox to send technical and interaction data to Mozilla
Allow Firefox to make personalized extension recommendations
Allow Firefox to install and run studies
Allow Firefox to send backlogged crash reports on your behalf
But, let's give them a pass because they're not based on Chromium.

- CatWChainsaw 3y agoSo you'd let the perfect be the enemy of the good and go all-in on Chrome? The way I see it, whatever its imperfections, it's the source of the only non-Safari, non-Chromium browser with basically any market share, and has its derivatives you can choose from. I've seen LibreWolf mentioned several times. And frankly, Mozilla's narrower market scope, to say nothing of their market share, when compared with the behemoth that is Alphabet, make all this immaterial. I can turn all those settings off quite easily. My irritation stems from the unique download identifiers and the occasions when they also make stupid alterations, like that Firefox View thing (which got disabled, of course).
