Ungoogled Chromium.

I was looking for private browsers, and found myself astonished at how the market is saturated in Chromium-based browsers, and how every website seems to only support theses browsers, so I had to accept that Chromium will be all there is until a new big thing appears, and wound up finding a Chromium fork that seems to remove all google aspects from it. I've had to tweak a few things but the experience has been very smooth so far.

Firefox exists and works great. I'm in IT and use it for everything. Tab containers and temporary tabs are amazing.

the main issue with Firefox is the subpar (or lack thereof in the case of android) site isolation.

Outside of Google blocking some of their websites from Firefox (the only one I can think of currently is Stadia Bluetooth Mode), which websites do you find that only support Chrome? I haven't found any.

I didn't mean it as in "it only works in Chrome", but how some websites just seem to ignore any problems that are in non-Chromium browsers.
