People ragging on the only viable browser solution we have... Firefox is rock solid, fast, tweakable, and keeps me as safe as any browser and my configs/habits can. I don't care if management eats babies.
I use it on debian with celenity phoenix and a few about:config tweaks, also tweak'd the theme a bit. Extensions: ublock origin, sponsorblock, localcdn, consent-o-matic, containers, keepassxc-browser, and sometimes jshelter.
web browsing: solved
I couldn't tell whether this post was supposed to be sarcasm or what. Firefox is great, except you have to install all those extensions and add-ons and make manual configuration changes through a nerd-only UI in order to get a basic measure of privacy? Um no, Firefox is deeply unsatisfying for those exact reasons you list, though people use it anyway under the circumstances.
