  Well it is just one those element naming chrome fork. Kinda like: https://iridiumbrowser.de/ But that one looks have not being updated in a while. But what is the point forking Chrome browser now days since manifest 3? I switched back to firefox/librawolf for now. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Firefox+ublock>brave

  You could use ungoogled chromium or iridium browser, browsers less knowledged (they don't need youtubers to be adversited), and works good, plus ungoogled chromium is literally chrome without google, and iridium is brave but without all their crypto bullshit and lies. Source: almost 4 years ago

• Firefox Containers vs. Brave Cross Site cookies

  Brave is a mediocre privacy browser. If you really need a Chromium-based browser, try UG or Iridium. For Firefox, you can always harden the base browser, but Librewolf is generally better for privacy if you don't need the Pocket/Mozilla bloat. Source: about 5 years ago

• Your Privacy Matters. Reclaim It!

  Firefox with a custom userChrome.css file can be very customizable (I'm using one which makes it blend in nicer with my desktop theme). Firefox isn't the pinnacle of reliability, I admit, but it's the only thing we have to go against the Chromium monopoly. Here are a few suggestions for Firefox and Chromium-based browsers, perhaps you find one better than Vivaldi: * Firefox+arkenfox * GNU IceCat * Librewolf *... Source: over 5 years ago

• Your Privacy Matters. Reclaim It!

  I agree, and if you feel like Firefox/FOSS-Chromium-based browsers (i.e. Firefox+arkenfox, GNU IceCat, Librewolf, Waterfox, Pale Moon, Brave, Iridium, Ungoogled Chromium) don't offer you what you need (which is quite mind-boggling to me but whatever), Vivaldi is still better than the rest. But it definitely is a step down, so I'll continue listing it in my post :). Source: over 5 years ago

• Every time I wake my computer from sleep I see these in my pihole
