#2Huh. These actually sound like good arguments to switch to Firefox, arguments I've never heard before until now.

I moved to firefox once 57 was released on nightly. Firefox is finally usable (in terms of speed) again and I can use it for day to day tasks.

#4I use Edge and looks like is blocking everything w/o problems.

#5> I am not aware of any anti-fingerprinting initiative taken up with Chromium
Brave is Chromium-based and has anti-fingerprinting tech (which it was the first to include IIRC): https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/wiki/Fingerprinting-...
It also works on Brave for Android.

#6> It baffles me that some people thinks Firefox is becoming a “Chrome clone”, it’s just not the case, it’s just plain silly to make such statement.
That's probably the single most reassuring statement about Firefox that I've heard in some time, coming from a serious dev who makes a popular cross-platform addon for both Firefox and Chrome.

The Tor Browser has some kind of antifingerprinting stuff in it. I don't know how it compares to what Brave does.

Indeed, I remembered wrong. I think it was bcrypt who implemented it in both Tor Browser and Brave.

#9I found this disturbing:
"Chromium-based browsers are being “infested” by Instart Logic tech which works around blockers and worst, around browser privacy settings (they may start “infecting” Firefox eventually, but that is not happening now)."
From his linked post:
"Instart Logic will detect when the developer console opens, and cleanup everything then to hide what it does"
Is this implemented via a CDN-delivered script? Why would Chromium-based browsers be more susceptible?

Many of the Tor project's anti-fingerprinting measures are gradually being merged into mainline Firefox.
