    That’s chromium based. Having more firefox based browsers helps take away the dominate control Google has on browsers.

      TIL. I only use it on mobile, got a good replacement that’s data privacy-oriented?

        lol, honestly, just Firefox. I know there’s a lot of hubbub about Mozilla and Firefox with them changing their ToS, but you can disable all sponsored items, and anonymous. And even though they changed their ToS, I don’t think they’ve changed anything. They’ve sold anonymized data for a while. People here don’t seem to like data selling of any kind, but Firefox only collects anonymized data, and it’s a free service.

        The only two real options will be Chrome and Chromium based, and Firefox and Firefox based. For Firefox based that isn’t firefox, you’ve got:

        • Librewolf
        • Mullvad
        • Zen
        • Floorp

        If you google for other browsers, and find one you haven’t heard of, there’s a 99% chance it’s Chromium based.
