    “Fast” means “close” or “almost” in German. Yeah, I agree. They almost had me convinced there were no alternatives to their little browser-data-collector-thingy.

      Firefox or any other non chromium based browser

        Genuinely don’t know of any others but Firefox. I do a little lynx sometimes for super sus stuff but it’s barely a browser…

          There’s WebKit and KHTML based ones, although I don’t know of any mainstream browsers that use those aside from safari or iOS. Other niche options exist for Linux.

              It’s Blink based as far as I know, well at least on Android, iOS still doesn’t allow other browsers.

              That and konqueror where what I had in mind. I guess there is also gecko and ie as well as the ones I listed in my original comment now that I think about it.

          The only others I know of are Mac-only: Safari and Orion.

          Orion is great. I wish there was a Linux version.

              Orion is by the developers of Kagi (a paid search engine that is actually as good, if not better, than Google) and has ad-blocking and anti-tracking built in natively. It’s awesome.

                Oooooh, now you’ve got me interested. I’ve heard good things about Kagi’s paid search and yet to give it a try.

          w3m is nice in terms of text based browsers although it can’t run javascript

          Opera, Safari, Brave, Lynx, Edge, Tor, and some others. There are a bunch of derivative browsers too.

          And yet it’s still using chromium, which means it’s still perpetuating all of the issues that Google is currently pushing. Things like Web Environment Integrity API, which is designed to make adblocking virtually impossible and make tracking easier than ever. Or Manifest V3, which is basically purpose-built to block adblocker extensions from running, by limiting the amount of control they have to edit webpages.

          Saying that the browser is fine because it respects privacy is a little bit like saying your stoner uncle is cool because he buys alcohol for you and the rest of your 12 year old friends. It’s not really something we should be praising.

            What are you even saying? You went off rail really fast I said there are chromium that respect privacy. There are other. And there are good browsers that don’t depend on chromium

              Chromium is compromised… not just Chrome itself. Anything downstream of Chromium is gets all of Google’s recent malware like adblock-prevention and web-DRM baked right in.

              No matter the downstream projects’ goals, they are still working from a compromised upstream source.

            Yet every single android user do not have a choice. Use a good chromium based browser OR use a chromium based webview PLUS Firefox gecko with security issues since Sandboxing is lightyears behind chromium. Get off your 🚬 🐎

                It doesn’t sound like you understand what a webview is. Or have a clue about Firefox crappy Sandboxing on mobile.

                    Yea, no you are using chromium webview AND Firefox you utter imbecile , go lick chrome boot. Are you really this dense? Have fun pretending. You just got both chrome issues and Firefox issues instead of just having chrome issues.
