    I’m librewolf for primary

    using floccus for syncing so there’s no accounts for anyone.

    I’m using a start menu replacement so i’m not sending traffic to the browsers default choice

    I tried a bunch of browsers a year ago, set them all up, and tried to use them daily.,

    Vivaldi is shoving AI and VPN up my ass, has week fingerprinting and only promises to subvert manifest v3 as long as they can

    Edge is bad and getting worse, plus giving data to MS isn’t much better than giving it to google. also locks into manifest v3

    I give Helium credit for supporting manifest V2 still. I wish they did better with fingerprint randomization. But then again, I’m not even using Brave for anything but YouTube and Meet, so maybe the anonymization isn’t a big deal.

    Brave is a shit company with a bad leader, but they have a fully funded dev team, and they block YouTube ads earlier in the pipeline before extensions get to them, so the manifest BS can’t touch them. I turn off the VPN and BAT shit and don’t use their default page.

    Librewolf is doing good randomization for me, and blocks still block. I’d use it exclusively if I could share a single tab’s audio in meet and the camera and mic sharing worked every time in linux without 30 second timeouts.
