Use Brave. It’s de-googled, privacy-centric chromium with built-in uBlock-style ad/tracker blocking. Best of both worlds!

  There are some good reasons to consider not using Brave: https://www.spacebar.news/stop-using-brave-browser/ https://www.spacebar.news/stop-using-brave-browser/

    this is from 2023 and is also mostly wrong on almost all accounts, basically FUD

  De-googled Chromium? This does not compute.

    De-googled in the "we make some patches to remove things we think are hostile from Google" sense but yes: they're still completely reliant on them for engine development.

  Yeah I'm not at all interested in Brave, that's a dumpster fire of it's own. And that still gives control to Google by owning the defacto implementation of browsing the internet. There needs to be an actual alternative to Chrome.

  So much about Brave raises scammy red flags every time I look at it. However, my main reason for ditching Chrome years ago was the fact that I think a browser engine monoculture is bad for the web as a whole, especially if that engine is primarily controlled by a single corporate entity. Manifest v3 and other Google nonsense came later, and are extra reasons to stay away from Chrome, but I still feel strongly that a good alternative needs to use a different engine.

  Brave, The browser that brags about how they ignore consent!
