Librewolf is great, but now some stupid sites require chromium-based browsers to work. E.g: Microsoft teams.

  • Ungoogled chromium? problem is that it's worse in fingerprinting compared to Brave. See: https://privacytests.org/
  • Brave: bloated and filled with unnecessary features.

Why isn't there a Brave fork yet that gets rid of the crypto junk?

@j2b @Tiritibambix It's open source with the exception of the proprietary UI.

@Kulei
Yes. It doesn't matter if part of it is OSS. If one part isn't, that's a black box, which is a huge red flag.

@jonte @j2b @Tiritibambix I agree. I don't know of a better alternative when it comes to Chromium other than Ungoogled Chromium, afterwards probably Vivaldi and Brave
