Just use brave

I never got all the Brave hate. Just don't do the crypto stuff.

that in my opinion shouldn't be in the browser in the first place, plus I don't wanna support the chromium monopoly and instead wanna use a gecko based browser.

For me, I just dislike the feature bloat. I wonder if somebody has a brave fork, since brave has some of the best fingerprinting protection amongst all browsers
