I'd try Brave.

If you're a vim user, try qutebrowser. It has some quirks, but with the ability to customize keyboard shortcuts and call upon scripts it's hard to move back to a "normal" browser.

Brave looks really cool, but it uses chromium so its hands are forever tied to google. I remember they considered Gecko but rejected it for some reason.

I don't understand that logic. It's a fork. Is Webkit tied to KHTML? Is gcc tied to egcs?

Chromium is not a fork of chrome. AFAIK brave has not forked chromium.

Yes they have. They had their own browser previously but have since given up on that. https://github.com/brave/brave-browser

Chromium is listed right on the readme.

Yeahp I wish they could decouple from it.

What we really need is an alternative to the official Chrome Web Store.
