Have you tried Brave?

Brave is basically just Chrome with an adblocker, just like edge is chrome with a reskin. Obviously that's a bit of an exaggeration, but they are all chromium at heart.

It's a pretty big distinction don't you think. FWIW I also use FireFox...
I've been preaching this for a while:
- Chrome is dominant line IE was.
- Chrome - like IE - doesn't care about the standards because they know developers will adapt to them.
- Chrome - like IE - is starting to fail.
Unfortunately, meanwhile Mozilla has been busy tearing apart a number of the things that made Firefox shine, especially the extension API. They've also been busy trying to destroy the massive trust many of us had in them by doing stupid things like injecting a silly ad extension and lying (IIRC) about the Pocket thing (nothing against Pocket, they just shouldn't have lied about it, many of us are looking for ways to fund FF development.)
Edit: I still use and recommend Firefox. For me it is still the best browser out there in more than one way, I just feel it could have been so much better.
