You could always switch to Firefox and use something like fastmail or protonmail. Did that a year ago, and actually it works better on mobile imo
My preference for a well supported Chromium-based browser that's not Chrome would be to use one of the "Blink" based browsers: https://vivaldi.com https://brave.com https://www.opera.com Opera was purchased by a Chinese consortium, I'm not a fan of Brave's hijacking of ad spaces so my preference is currently vivaldi - which was founded by co-founder and former CEO of Opera and has been adding new innovative features…

Whatever monetization strategy Websites choose to fund their content is up to them. If ads are the best way to support free content then that should be their choice.
Sure. And it’s my choice to block them. Brave actually offers a way to pay for content, if I understand it correctly.
There are humans on the other side producing that content, they have as much right for being compensated for their efforts as we do.

You can hold shift to select multiple tabs and then do all these operations, like mute them all, group them, display them tiled... and I feel like I'm just scratching the surface.
It feels like the last time there was a big feature competition between all the browsers.

>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…

Because the focus on decoupling from Google, etc is to prevent control of larger corporations and from data intrusion. Mobile is a huge facet of search/browsing now. If you are only decoupling 50% of web usage, you aren't making much of a dent on the behemoths to change their behavior.
Then I really don't get it, Safari is the most dominant browser on iOS and on Android you can use whatever you want - so you never have to use Chrome anywhere.

> I'm not a fan of Brave's hijacking of ad spaces so my preference is currently vivaldi I'm not affiliated with Brave, but IIRC that requires opt-in from both the owner of the user AND the website. So it seems like a bit of a stretch to call it hijacking, when the website, ads are being "hijacked" from needs to opt-in to this.

Where is the opt-in from the website who are getting their ads blocked/replaced?
