Note: This setup is both for my android and pc Edit: For those recommending paid services and selfhosting, I don't have the money nor resources for either. Also it seams some people are confusing my android setup with my PC setup so I'll write it down. Android: Brave(movies) + Ironfox, Search: Brave + DDG, VPN: Proton ( not always on), GPay = Cash, Auth= Aegis Auth, Pass: KeepassDX, PC: Firefox= Librewolf, VPN = No VPN (VERY slow internet), Search: Searxng + DDG, Pass: KeepassXC,

Still a proprietary black box you shouldn't trust and chromium based so you reinforce the chromium monopoly

    Why is vivaldi helping a chromium monopoly?

    I understand it is based on chrome tech, and I guess that means it can use chrome extensions maybe? But how does it help chrome if people use it?

    It uses Google's browser engine base called Chromium, which Chrome is based on (the used engine is called "Blink"). A lot of websites are made to just function well on Chromium and maybe Safari

    Isn't that more on the site creators? I have a handful of sites and web apps I don't have a choice to simply avoid because of job-related requirements. I've tried a bunch of other approaches, but keeping a Chromium browser installed has, so far, been the least painful way to get through my normal work days.

    That's on corporate sites just saving work or intentionally obstructing and restricting Firefox because Google basically a monopoly.

    For me personally Firefox (and it's engine Gecko) work fine for 99% of websites I visit.

    Agreed, but occasionally I have to use a site that doesn't work properly on Firefox-based browsers. I mostly use Cromite to deal with that, but want a backup in case Cromite dies like its predecessor Bromite did.

    Firefox is my daily drive and I use Ungoogled Chromium for the rare times Firefox doesn't work

    I agree. Firefox is "almost everything" for me. The example that comes to mind for it not working is WebSerial. That's when the UC comes out. Also there was a brief period where the Papa John's website checkout didn't work in Firefox.
