I posted about switching to Firefox as my "daily driver" browser as a little tiny step away from Chromium browser hegemony, and I had a ton of people in the replies suggesting I should just use Brave or Edge or Opera or Vivaldi instead.

I'm a little concerned that people don't realize just how pervasive this problem is. Every single one of those sits on top of the Chromium codebase.

Chrome does that better than any other browser, but does nothing to protect you from Google. It works that way across all of Google’s products.

You have to decide what threats you are protecting yourself from.
