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

    Brave is just a reskinned Chrome anyway. Even Chromium has built in telemetry.

    Firefox is the only independent browser. Even Edge is Chrome these days.

    We need to support Firefox. Unfortunately it’s dying more and more every year

        Well essentially there are 3 browsers. Chrome / Firefox / Safari. Everything is a version of these three (besides niche browsers, like I think KDE might have their own browser)

        What I mean by independent is Firefox is the only one not owned by a massive international corporation. I would say the only open source one but Chromium is technically open source.

        You can for example download “ungoogled chromium” which is a Chromium fork that removes the Google telemetry

        How is Apple “independent”? You’re just trading one mega corporation for another.

        It’s not Chromium specifically, but it has basically the same issues.
