If you value privacy, ditch Chrome and switch to Firefox now (www.fastcompany.com)

With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

Brave is still Chromium based which means giving control over the internet to Google regardless

How about Vivaldi? Is it also chromium based? Any experience with it? Been eying it as a potential replacement for brave. Firefox is such a mess I don't even want to touch it.

Also Chromium. What do you find such a mess about Firefox? When was the last time you used it?

I have to concede it's been a few years since I used it, but saw reports of people having unstable Firefox installs in various places like Youtube and Mastodon. I will give it another go but I would love an alternative to try too.
