All the way. Don't settle for just chrome plating.
Firefox and Qwant as search engine is enough?
And uBlock Origin. There's some other decent privacy addons too like Privacy Badger, Decentraleyes and Chameleon.

With Google search results increasingly swamped with SEO-laden drivel, I've found the gap between Google and alternatives like Qwant and DDG has shrunk a lot recently. The little guys have improved a bit, but Google has also got worse.
Most other search engines use Bing or Google, Qwant is one of the few that implement their own entirely. While I agree that it's not as good as the other two, it also has a minuscule amount of market share and in turn fewer resources.
I'm a happy Vivaldi user (features and configurability to me are more important!) but I'm sure this will be implemented in the Chromium open source platform and not exclusively in Chrome (like some other features).
