A chrome version of Firefox is Brave.

A chrome version of Opera is Vivaldi.

A chrome version of MSIE is MS Edge.

After FF kept breaking extensions with their switch to XUL, I stopped using them.

Except now you can just install standard extensions in Firefox.

I don't want a chrome version of something. I want an independent browser that isn't effectively some version of adware.

I'll never understand why people don't get on board with migrating away from adware.
