Use LibreWolf/firefox and UBlock Origins and kick the data collectors to the curb.

Libewolf is firefox, and i would suggest canvas, an anti fingerprinting extention and noscript, but it breaks a ton of sites

LibreWolf is a fork with more privacy protections. Firefox has some shitty people in charge now and can’t be counted on being good in the future.

From what I understand you don’t want to use too many addons because that will also help fingerprint your machine. But I’ll give that one a look!

Own browser, or slap on their own user interface and extensions on Chromium?

I read another article that said they're planning to use a custom fork of Chromium.

yea well have fun collecting data from many tech bros I guess

You’d think tech bros would understand the tech better and not want to get harvested by a shitty corporation. 😂

They’ll be the first batch of “worshippers” 🙄

They will start paying you peanut flakes, to harvest every word you write directly and to allow them to use your browser as a scraping bot, mark my words
