Fucking hell I am sick of having to switch browsers every few years.
Why would you need to? Did you ever trust chrome? And google?
The joke being, that all browsers by now depend on ad money directly (or indirectly aka Firefox) - this means browsers can by definition never favor protection of your privacy over their money stream.
(I am using Firefox, but even they try to upsell their VPN solution with in-browser advertisement :-/)
