LibreWolf doesn’t help me with websites that refuse to work properly on Firefox’s engine. I mentioned in the article that Firefox is already my daily web browser, but I’ve been looking for a good backup Chromium browser for that and other reasons.
Not a great example, but the ERP I use for work doesn’t support Firefox and has some minor issues due to how Firefox handles frames differently from chromium based browsers.
If you use a browser back, the site goes all the way back to the home page instead of the previous menu you were using, because they put a whole extra layer over the entire site to handle navigation.
Some say brave, but all that crypto crap and a few scandals has me saying no.
Vivaldi, which started by the original Opera Deva after the browser was bought by a Chinese corp is pretty OK. Lots of the google stuff removed. Very customizable. Still works with ublock.
Other than that, on android there’s chromite - no google blobs. Chromium on Linux - but it still has the google blobs.
It’s very actively maintained. It’s just a hardened version of Firefox, you can get similar results using a privacy-focused user.js profile with Firefox. What’s nice about is is that once Firefox introduces a new update with more breaches of privacy, they adjust the settings on their side, so it’s just more convenient. And you can configure some things via the GUI instead of some JavaScript files
Seems like a lot of work when you can just use librewolf

Do you have a list of broken web sites? I have never seen any proof so far.

brave is still the best in terms of compatibility, features and efficiency which is why popular linux distros Nobara and Zorin use it as the default
Yes, I suggested Vivaldi in the article.
How does that compare to WaterFox or similar? I’m guessing it’s not running a dated framework like PaleMoon?
