Agreed.

Almost all browsers these days -- with the exception of Firefox -- are based on the open-source software package "Chromium". Chromium is the basic foundation for a ton of browsers:

• Chromium
• Google Chrome
• Microsoft Edge
• Brave
• Opera
• Vivaldi
• and many, many others (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_(web_browser)

The open-source Chromium package was originally developed by Google. So if you're truly paranoid about Google, you need to avoid all of the above except Firefox.

Oops, correction:

And if you're on an Apple product, Safari is still non-Chromium.

Just because it’s a chromium based browser is not necessarily a bad thing.
I’d be interested in knowing if anyone uses Vivaldi. It’s supposed to be like the old Opera, which I used almost exclusively several years ago.

I have found another good option that I trust even more than Brave or Firefox I been wanting to share with you Dayglored. And it will accept all the Firefox addons.

ungoogled-chromium available for unix systems; the google hooks are removed. It worked fine. I don’t know about microsoft systems.

That said, I still use Firefox.
