Whatever they say about "loving the Web", the Chrome team will choose Google's ad business over everything else, web standards, user agency, security, privacy, safety, interoperability, literally anything and everything else every single time.

What anyone on that team says they love or care about or want does not change anything they're going to do.
Get Firefox.
Yes, they're thrashing. Yes, the AI stuff is bullshit nobody wants.
Get Firefox, add uBlock Origin.
@mhoye There's merit to supporting Mullvad Browser and the Tor network, while Zen Browser may be doing the best from the Firefox stages of failure.

As much as I'd otherwise hop on the "get Firefox" bandwagon, their engine gets clobbered by most business saass platforms. Try using Firefox for more than 10 minutes with say Atlassian Confluence or Sharepoint and see how that goes -> I had to give up Firefox because we're an Atlassian shop. Yeah, a single page is 97MB (which is a lot of other unrelated wtf questions), but takes 25s to load? sigh.
True, Norwegian Chrome (Vivaldi) follows the manifestV3 uBlock drop, but at least they have their own (less functional) adblock built-in and on by default.
@tezoatlipoca @mhoye I use Confluence in Firefox for work and have had only minor issues over the last 5ish years. The minor issue was with the old editor, but the new one works just fine.

@mhoye Safari is not chromium based.
@mingistech @mhoye As attested by the many websites who runs awful in Safari or outright doesn't work, because they were only tested on Chrome.
