I suggest to use chromium as the backup "in case a webpage doesn't work on Firefox" browser. All the compatibility but no telemetry.

    But why use chromium or any chromium based browser since google disabled ad blocking plug-ins?

    I suggest it as the backup browser. Use Firefox and if you need to open something that only works on chrome, I'd rather use chromium, so Google doesn't rape your computer when trying to use the internet.

    Eh, did they? I'm sure I still have Ublock Origin on the work browser, which is Chrome.

    just fyi, when Mv3 (at least googles version of it) will completely replace Mv2 ... uBO or for that matter any content/ad-blocker might not be able to perform as well on chrome based browsers.
