Chrome is not a solution, it is a major part of the problem.
Switch to Firefox, and preferably switch to Firefox on Linux.

Except it’s not, all the complaints about Firefox are moronic, none of them have any merit.
Don’t fall for the false propaganda or morons who think they found a problem when they have no understanding of the underlying mechanisms.
I’ve seen dozens of claims about bad things Mozilla does, and every time I investigate the issue, it turns out there is nothing there, or at most some sort of misunderstanding that is blown out of proportions.
You can dislike Firefox as much as you want as a use case. But Firefox is still 100% above board with everything they do.

a quote from Enthony Enzor-Demeo, the current CEO of Firefox.
I like how you treat any rumors you don’t like as propaganda, implying ill intent, as well as call people morons for not trusting yet another corpo.
I personally use firefox for now, because i’m too lazy to set up synchronization between devices myself in an opensource browser.
The fact that they’re slightly better than their competitors is not a reason to fanboy over them and put a blind eye over their slow but steady shift towards enshittification.

Sure, blind loyalty is bad, but your characterization of Mozilla is either ignorant or disingenuous. From Wikipedia:
This doesn’t mean that enshittification can’t happen, but Mozilla Corporation clearly has different pressures than most corporations.

Again, propaganda against Firefox with no basis.
What is your claim? That because it uses AI, it inherently bad?
The AI functions implemented by Firefox are generally run locally.
You show NOTHING, and yet you act like you made a point???

Whether you like it or not, some people want AI features and Firefox isn’t in a position to snub their users. At least they give you a choice of enabling/disabling that functionality

Does this mean that you usually always have great privacy?

Absolutely.
