Since currently Lemmy is mostly made up of nerds, I'd like to know what browsers you use and why? You could just upvote the comment with your browser of choice if you don't want to explain.

If Firefox isn't available, the next best choice would probably be de-googled Chromium (note that Chromium is not necessarily fully de-googled by default) or Safari. Edge is just Chrome plus Microsoft.

    Edge is just Chrome plus Microsoft.

    Notably minus the Google integration though. Replacing one big corp for another.

    I think Edge still has a bunch of the Google telemetry, though. But I could be wrong - I haven't looked into it because Firefox exists. Firefox also has some Google telemetry kinda stuff by default, just in case you didn't know - you have to disable it (or bear with it because you want the features)

    I've found de googled chromium kinda sucks though, PWAs seem unstable and Chromecast doesn't work properly

    That's always the trade-off - convenience, or privacy? It seems that we live in a world where we can't really get both, and everyone has their personal preference on where that line should be drawn.
