Answer me this, what chromium browser today is good??
I don't use Chromium browsers because they're at the verge of becoming a monopoly, it's important to use alternatives for the foreseeable future to sustain what's left of diversity.
It depends on your point of view, of the ones I've seen I'd guess Vivaldi has the best user features but it's closed source so there's double reason to not use it. It's what I'd use if I didn't care about any of this. But if you want my genuine browser recommendation from a Privacy perspective (since this is the privacy community) I suggest Mullvad Browser, it's Firefox based and has strong anti-fingerprinting and privacy defaults - it does break some sites though and is missing some QoL features but that's the price you pay.
Yeah different perspective, i don't see any need in using alternatives to chromium tho, firefox works with google, so this fight with the monopolist is just ridiculous for me.
I would say don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good, if you have a problem with Mozilla as an organisation it doesn't negate the valid concerns about the monopoly, it would effectively hand control of web standards over to Google defeating the entire ethos of the open web. The Firefox browser engine is independent even if you don't believe the organisation behind it is, that can be verified because of open source, there's no need to be defeatist yet.
