How does that compare to WaterFox or similar? I’m guessing it’s not running a dated framework like PaleMoon?

Seems like a lot of work when you can just use librewolf

It’s very actively maintained. It’s just a hardened version of Firefox, you can get similar results using a privacy-focused user.js profile with Firefox. What’s nice about is is that once Firefox introduces a new update with more breaches of privacy, they adjust the settings on their side, so it’s just more convenient. And you can configure some things via the GUI instead of some JavaScript files

LibreWolf doesn’t help me with websites that refuse to work properly on Firefox’s engine. I mentioned in the article that Firefox is already my daily web browser, but I’ve been looking for a good backup Chromium browser for that and other reasons.

Some say brave, but all that crypto crap and a few scandals has me saying no.
Vivaldi, which started by the original Opera Deva after the browser was bought by a Chinese corp is pretty OK. Lots of the google stuff removed. Very customizable. Still works with ublock.
Other than that, on android there’s chromite - no google blobs. Chromium on Linux - but it still has the google blobs.

Yes, I suggested Vivaldi in the article.

There’s Ungoogled Chromium if you’re interested.

brave is still the best in terms of compatibility, function and efficiency which is why popular linux distros Nobara and Zorin use it as the default

Do you have a list of broken web sites? I have never seen any proof so far.

Not a great example, but the ERP I use for work doesn’t support Firefox and has some minor issues due to how Firefox handles frames differently from chromium based browsers.
If you use a browser back, the site goes all the way back to the home page instead of the previous menu you were using, because they put a whole extra layer over the entire site to handle navigation.

I haven’t noticed a website outright blocking Firefox in a while, in part because Firefox devs are staying on top of it with overriding a lot of site blocks. The issue I run into the most is reduced video quality in Google Meet in Firefox, so I switch to Safari or Chromium when I need to do calls there.
