Rather just use Firefox. Its an insanely good browser.
Unfortunately Google and Firefox are a bit joined at the hip, but it's better than outright being the same thing.

Everyone keeps saying this, I think it's time for me to switch. How are the dev tools compared to Chrome?
You could even consider using more than one browser... one for dev tools, one for everything else.

Yeah, Chrome isn't so good that I find a need for the open source community to maintain a fork of it. ⌘Space Safari and I get on with my life. It's been interesting to experience Internet Explorer, then Firefox, Chrome, and finally coming back to operating system default browsers with Edge and Safari and being perfectly content. The leverage Microsoft and Apple are utilizing with their operating system ecosystems is…
Why is this downvoted so heavily? It's a legitimate opinion. I don't agree with it and you may not either, but it highlights the fact that for at least a portion of the user base the default browser may be an acceptable option.

Safari is worlds less hardened than Chrome from a security standpoint.
Evidence?
Anyone know how this differs from https://chromium.woolyss.com who has been building Chromium, for all major platforms, without Google features for years?
Those seem to be builds of Chromium, which (even if you disable Sync and Widevine) still has Google integration in some places. On the other hand, `ungoogled-chromium` is a set of patches for Chromium that removes every Google feature/integration/service from the code.

It would be really great if you could follow the guidelines instead of posting like this. Would you please? We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18053831 .
It would be great, wouldn't it? That sounds delightful, and I would be happy to. Just one quick question: Why was my account rate limited solely for commenting – substantively, on-topic, and in an intellectually gratifying way – about incels? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18012416 Why was this thread collapsed solely for saying "I only see depressed men on /r/braincels, not really much hatred?" https://news.yc…
The problem and the solution remain the same as the last N explanations we gave you. At some point, N becomes so large that it is madness to continue. N passed that point that a long time ago. It's time to try something else, so I've banned your accounts. If after 3 months you want to be unbanned, we'll give you another chance to use HN as intended. At a minimum, that means no more off-topic drama, no more meta drama, no more drama about troll topics, no more self-referential rants, and no more tedious tit-for-tats with other users.
If in the meantime you post a particularly good and on-topic comment, you can call our attention to it and we'll be happy to vouch for it, if other users haven't done so already.
Coincidentally I had found out this one today and compiled it myself after a frustrating experience with `brew install chromium` (videos wouldn't play; inputs would blink). I guess this has more flags set up by default, and it makes it easier to target a stable commit to compile against. Also as a word of caution, don't use ungoogled-chromium binaries - they never are fully official/confirmed/reproducible. Running op…
>Just bite the bullet and run the 2h compilation process yourself. I don't think that's the best use of everyone's time or energy. Not to mention, it may be more error prone, or even insecure depending on what your base system is like. And you'll have to track updates. It seems like chromium is problematic to build in general. Debian hasn't marked it as reproducible. It is also not clear if it is possible to build it…

Brave seems to be focusing on a monetization model that prevents third parties from tracking its users. Seems like a win-win. I’m okay with them hijacking ads if that allows them to succeed and thrive.
I prefer each website be in control over their own monetization model and not dictated by the whims of a browser vendor without their consent.
