And one thing that irks is that you can't have a local file be your homepage and new tab page. I want to have all my work related links in a local immutable HTML page and every new tab or every time I open the browser it goes there for me to choose what of 5 links to pick....time sheet, team site, hr site, all the vendors sites etc...npr, my home servers etc. c'mon man! The only way to make it happen is to serve it on a local server that I am not allowed to install, or a server at home that I don't actually want to do.

Screen capture being disabled in private mode on firefox is really reassuring to me.
I switched on my personal devices (need to use chrome for gsuite integrations at work).
On desktop, it's great and I'm loving it. And kicking myself for not switching back sooner after the massive-years-long-memory-leak was finally fixed a few years back
On mobile, it's mostly great. The privacy focus, ad block support, and plug-in support is a plus. But I realllly want the tab groups that mobile Chrome introduced a while back. That had such a great mobile UX that I've found myself still loading up chrome now and then when I find myself wanting that UX. I looked to see if there were plugins that could make that possible, but was disappointed to see none and let down that it seems impossible with the current tab implementation.
I just need one, being able to change if something in the code is against my interests.
Look at how Vivaldi and Arc do tab management.
How many of these apply to ungoogled-chromium?
A lot of the privacy aspects mentioned in the article would apply but the extra features(like facebook container) would not. The extension support is also an issue since the extensions themselves have their own privacy policies, so if you get any which are hosted on google owned chrome web store all your privacy cautiousness goes down the drain unless you're using a vpn.
Firefox addons also have their own privacy policies but you can simply choose the ones with open source licenses so it should be rather simple to be more protected.
