    Firefox and hardened forks, possibly Cromite. All you can do is harden your defenses as much as possible and try not to go “oooooo shiny” when looking at extensions.

      I do use Firefox as my secondary browser. I may have been under an inaccurate impression that Vivaldi was more private and secure (with a built-in ad blocker)

        It’s more that Vivaldi is just Chrome under the hood.

        It’s literally just chrome with a pre installed set of add-ons. It’s no different then just using chrome. That’s the fundamental problem with all the shitty chrome based browsers.
