A comment on Google Chromium, sans integration with Google.

What's surprising to me is that this product not only removes Google services integration, but also adds rather opinionated "Enhancing Features" of its own. Many of these are pretty good, but not everyone will like all of them. I, for example, doesn't like the "Force all pop-ups into tabs" change.

Yeah...

Guix does not distribute Firefox and instead distributes GNU Icecat, which comes with the unremovable libreJS and an extension to make UPS's site work without JavaScript.

Uhh... thanks

The privacy features are why I won't use it. Same with librewolf. I am sick and tired of all of these web breaking alterations being the only independent forks available.

In IceCat disabling those additional features is a click away. And it won’t demand that you enable them back.
