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

On a Windows machine absolutely. On MacOS, why not trust safari? The battery management for Safari is fantastic.

You getting fked here or there. So don't think it matters that much.

The time for everyone to do that was 10 years ago. It's too late, Chromium won. I'm pretty sure even manifest v3 isn't going to kill it's market share when it finally drops.

I recommend Chromium Ungoogled if you can't let go of the Chromium ecosystem for some reason. It's an open source fork of Chromium and puts pretty much all the power in the users' hands, so much so that to get certain features to even work you have to configure it. It is also fully compatible with the Chrome app store, if you want it to be.

I might consider it if they ever implement a modern sidebar like the rest of the others.

Alright. Then please tell me a way to circumvent site compatibility enforcement and I will gladly ditch any chrome-related browsers (that most sites are enforcing to use it nowadays) for the beloved fox on fire.

-EDIT And what do you have to say about this? https://youtu.be/_JNg4Ox2Hvc?t=512 .Its a very recent video and has some interesting takes about firefox.

The me from 6months back would be onboard with this idea, I don't really recommend firefox anymore. It's a bloated mess run by a very questionable corp. I had to move to PaleMoon, it's the only acceptable browser for me now.

How well does pale moon perform isolation between domains? Or does it at all?

It seems like often the main problem with the more minimal smaller browsers is they lack features to protect your privacy from websites you visit.

I use the nMatrix extension in Palemoon for privacy control, it works pretty well. https://digdeeper.neocities.org/articles/addons

Damn that looks like a lot of manual work, but it probably works well
