Have you tried Firefox recently? It's been my favorite for a decade or so. Now that chrome has crippled its extension API, it's objectively better.

I'm not convinced that any of these would change for the worse. Maybe we will start using more content and services that aren't made by Google. That sounds good to me. Of course, the overall situation will be improved the most by breaking up Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon, too.

The fact that you and I are happily using Linux is great evidence that software made collaboratively is better than software made competitively.

Firefox won't be around much longer if Google isn't able to pay to be its default search engine.

Neither will chrome or edge?

Maybe an uncertain future isn't certainly bleak.
