Current state of #browser things:
#Chrome and #Firefox are bad. Adtech and AI, AI and adtech. Google's leadership are evil and #Mozilla's don't have a clue what they're doing.
The offbrand #Chromium ecosystem is a monoculture, which harms the industry and society, and it's also a bit of a shit show. That's Edge and (less directly) Safari.
#Brave is bad, crypto and stunning homophobia
#Opera is still ad-laden (maybe bad for other reasons?)
Is #Vivaldi okay? I'm seeing aggressive promotion, and they are vocally not putting chatbots in everything.
The Firefox ecosystem seems less shite, and some of those spinoffs are privacy focused.
Is there a legit 3rd browser engine/ecosystem?
Have I missed anything worth mentioning?
Is there anything good out there?
