While I wholeheartedly agree that it's time to ditch chrome I don't agree with the way the author got there. First off Chrome on the iPhone is AFAIK still safari, as all browsers in iOS. Secondly "Edge on Windows feel like an extension of the operating system" while Chrome is clunky...but they are both Chromium. Of course there might be a miniscule difference but IMO that is nothing compared to the real problem with all chromium derivatives: namely that chromium is a monolith that can (and do) strangle competitors and decide the route of web innovation.<p>On the one hand I think it is great that there are choices like Brave but on the other I'm aware that using those other chromium derivatives is helping killing off the only real competition that has the users best interest in mind. It won't be long if things continue like this before Firefox is irrelevant and what will happen to the APIs used by chromium derivatives like Brave and privacy extensions? Already they are being removed or relegated to half-working at best. A web with only an advertisement giants browser on one side and a Money-Is-God-But-We-Pretend-To-Care business on the other is A Really Bad Thing. I'm amazed how many preach open source and privacy and then go install something made by Google to bolster its grip on the internet..
