#it also really depends on other privacy measures youve got going on and what you want to achieve from online privacy

the chromium base vs firefox argument on here is so tiring. theyre more or less the same in privacy terms, ESPECIALLY with no settings tweaks and any nonzero amount of extensions. obv the main chrome is worse, but brave browser is objectively more privacy centric than basic firefox lol. chromium fork ≠ evil google spyware

if we're talking decent privacy browsing, firefox is only better than chrome, but only bc it isnt google (and therefore some of your habits are separated from whatever else google knows about you) theres no anti fingerprinting measures and most people install a shitton of uniquely identifying extensions anyway. if using tor is unrealistic/pointless for you (i.e. you do a lot of irl shopping/banking/work /school stuff), mullvad browser is the 2nd best (all the anti fingerprinting measures of the tor browser without running on the onion network) or librewolf gives that firefox feel with slightly better than stock anti fingerprinting measures (providing u dont just install a bunch of useless extensions/turn off all the privacy measures)

there are obviously layers, and using firefox is better than using chrome, but it is kind of ridiculous to say that chrome forks are all as bad as mainline chrome. they aren't, and some are actually more privacy conscious than firefox! wild
