Social recommendations and mentions

• Chrome pushes forward with plans to limit ad blockers in the future

  It took me a bit of searching, but it's nice to know that there are desktop browsers that are not based on Chromium or Gecko, i.e. Webkit [1]. I would like to Otter Browser [2], next time I use my Windows machine.

• Is there a good browser that’s not Firefox, Chrome, or Brave?

  There is otterQt WebEngine, it doesn't have a lot of extensions but it does have a proper adblocker and auto cookies cleaner (similar to Cookie AutoDelete on FireFox) , the only problem that I have with this browser is that it feels little bit sluggish on youtube (my workaround for this problem is to download FreeTube) other than that it is a great browser.
