Librewolf is great, but now some stupid sites require chromium-based browsers to work. E.g: Microsoft teams.
- Ungoogled chromium? problem is that it’s worse in fingerprinting compared to Brave. See: https://privacytests.org/
- Brave: bloated and filled with unnecessary features.
Why isn’t there a Brave fork yet that gets rid of the crypto junk?

It probably boils down to funding. People need to get paid at the end of the day. The ultimate solution is a paid browser that works only in the user’s interest, but people are spoiled now. They want everything for free, and they want it to work perfectly also. The reality is that nothing is free in life. You either pay with money or in another currency (your info).
Just use a user-agent switcher in Firefox
I would suggest not using sites and services that require a certain browser. That is the only way to counter this attitude of Google. If you have to for your job or something, use Brave only for that and keep everything important on librewolf.
I’m not sure about fingerprinting, but Vivaldi might be an option.
I don’t think something closed source counts
It’s not even open source. No thanks.
@j2b @Tiritibambix It’s open source with the exception of the proprietary UI.
@Kulei
Yes. It doesn’t matter if part of it is OSS. If one part isn’t, that’s a black box, which is a huge red flag.
@j2b @Tiritibambix@jonte @j2b @Tiritibambix I agree. I don’t know of a better alternative when it comes to Chromium other than Ungoogled Chromium, afterwards probably Vivaldi and Brave
