You don’t need to use Chromium, and they’re almost all Chromium.
It’s Firefox or barbarism. — Rosa Luxemburg, probably
GNOME Web (Formerly known as Epiphany) uses Webkit, the same engine that powers Safari. Just wanted to point that out there.
People on Chrome reading this post and procrastinating on switching... I see you. 
You cannot hide from the contradictions of your computing.
FIREFOX SUPERFOX
dont use brave, crypto shit
Edited post, even libre software comrades like me slip up and don't condemn things for what they are.
Sometimes I still think I'm on c/linux and I have to make myself more vanilla and non-threatening to libs.
I have a very specific gripe about chromium based browsers and it’s that they don’t follow the ECMAScript spec well. For example in Chrome if you create a JavaScript class and scope some fields as private, if you try to access them chrome will just let you. On Firefox and Safari they will block access which is the correct behavior
Firefox gang!
Librewolf and icecat ftw
Icecat is the only truly libre web browser, but most people aren't ready for that conversation. Good shout out.
