    for those who come and read through these comments, on top of considering not using a chromium-based browser, you could also:

    • configure your own DNS resolver e.g. NextDNS
    • go further and use a fork of firefox e.g. librewolf

      Unfortunately DNS blocking is not nearly as powerful as an adblock extension which can manipulate the DOM and CSS directly.

        many people here parrot the same things relentlessly. there is no issue with choosing firefox as your primary driver. every user here can decide on what they want for themselves.

        i am offering other options as the suggestions in this thread (and threads like these) are homogenous.

        Firefox has telemetry settings built-in which you can switch off. LibreWolf strips the telemetry options away and focuses on obfuscating your browser fingerprint.
