With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

Okay I’m going to step into it. I’ve been liking Vivaldi recently as a browser. Is that screwed too because it’s based on chromium? Or am I safe for now?

Love Firefox, but if you want Chrome get Chromium or Brave.

I don't trust the libertarian Brave guy (formerly of Firefox, haha): https://www.searchenginejournal.com/brave-browser-under-fire-for-alleged-sale-of-copyrighted-data/491854/

Vivaldi and Opera with Chromium as a back up are my Blink browsers.

Firefox and Firefox Beta are my main browsers. I use the containers add on with FF Beta to basically use it as a sort of equivalent of Ferdi but with Firefox Beta allowing Google services in one account can talk to each other, all contained in one container that corresponds to one tab group/window.

What’s wrong with Brave? Does this effect Brave?

Been using Firefox for a long, very long time.

I've always wondered how Mozilla / Firefox makes money? I see that its a non-profit. Looks like sponsored links and content on their new tab?
