… Looks like it’s time to switch browsers again. Anyone got any suggestions? Preferably a Chromium-based privacy-focused browser without any crypto-related bells and whistles. And it has to be able to sync between Android and desktop.
It’s not that I’m afraid of compatibility issues. It’s more that I already had enough trouble bringing over all my settings the last time I switched browsers, and that was between two Chromium-based browsers. I’m willing to go through that same trouble again, but I’d rather not increase it if possible.
If it’s for the bookmarks, you can export that, possibly also for the password manager (although that’s riskier). As far as history etc, does that really matter? What other settings would you need to bring across
not the OP, but I have had some webpages that didn’t work correctly in firefox. Firefox’s market share is lower than 5% and some web devs have opted out of optimizing for firefox. The crypto stuff is completely opt in, I disabled it, added the typical ublock, decentraleyes, badger and clearurl addons and it’s basically as secure as modded firefox with the same addons or the shitty firefox port called librewolf with the settings that takes 1 min to set up already done by default, and yeah it’s shitty because it takes longer to update than firefox because all they do is to merge from the main branch.
If they asked chromium, let them, why the hell are you chastising people for their preferences.
When the Addon version change rolls in things will be different, but it has been delayed due to the user pushback and I don’t think that it will get implemented. If it does, tons of users will migrate to firefox anyway.

Why chromium based? I use Firefox and it’s very rare I come across a website that has an issue with it

Why the hell are you insisting on chromium? It’s such a bad idea to throw all our eggs in one basket.

Not if they want to pass QA. I’d not have a ‘dev’ like that near my team.
