With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

Brave is still Chromium based which means giving control over the internet to Google regardless

How about Vivaldi? Is it also chromium based? Any experience with it? Been eying it as a potential replacement for brave. Firefox is such a mess I don't even want to touch it.

Also Chromium. What do you find such a mess about Firefox? When was the last time you used it?

I have to concede it's been a few years since I used it, but saw reports of people having unstable Firefox installs in various places like Youtube and Mastodon. I will give it another go but I would love an alternative to try too.

I'm trying out Firefox again and just hit my first frustration: when opening a new window, the window size is not remembered from the last session. Or rather, it's remembered for a split second and then the window is resized to a smaller size. Can i get Firefox to always open with the size of my last closed window?
