Well there is already vivaldi, iridium, and ungoogled-chromium. But a better choice, IMO, is to install Brave since they are not just removing spy-features, but enabling new ideas to incentivize support for a more privacy focused internet.

The ad model is fundamentally broken, because all roads there eventually lead to tracking and online garbage. Monocultures are bad, so I don't think people should only use Chrome-based browsers. Google once tried to do ads without going down the wrong path, but that clearly hasn't worked out.

I think that Firefox Quantum is a better alternative.

Yea, that was what my essay/overview was about, including tracing these problems back to Larry/Sergey. It is probably worth posting a link here: http://yuhongbao.blogspot.com/2018/09/google-doubleclick-moz...

How effective is ungoogled-chromium at removing Google from the browser?
