I think it's time to change browser.

I won't use #GoogleChrome or #MicrosoftEdge, because because I regard both of those companies as toxic and dangerous for the open internet.

I am currently using a #Chromium-based browser, but recent news and revelations of the vendor's behaviour -- installing s/w without the knowledge or consent of the user -- makes me a little wary[1].

I am looking for a web browser that ...

• ... is available under a #FreeSoftware (or #OpenSource if you insist) licence,
• ... seeks, at least a little bit, to protect my #privacy,
• ... will render modern web pages and sites (i.e. is itself up-to-date and is actively maintained)
• ... will available for Linux

I'm happy to support such a project with regular donations, so it's not that I'm looking for a free-as-in-beer browser. I'm also happy for it to be either chromium-based or firefox-based (or based on some other engine I'm not aware of!).

Can you suggest something? Thanks.

[1] There's also the question of the social/political views of the head of the vendor, which has always made be uncomfortable. You know now it's a problem for me, so please don't @ me about thatt.

1) nice, I can now convert stuff with a button press?

2) Wait... it wants to pipe something to a different app?

3) Ok wow, it calls a search engine with a predefined query.
Not what I expected but it gets the job done 😆😆😆
