Downvote me how many times you want, but Mozilla needs to fork Chromium, degoogle it and fix the web.

Mozilla is the only internet entity I can say I trust, I am donating to it, and yet I am using Chrome and Brave on both Desktop and mobile.

Just follow the users and fork it!

Mozilla makes a web browser called Firefox. You should try it!

I've used it for many years, then switched to chrome and since then I've tried it more times that I want to admit. I am also donating to it.

Switch to Edgium then - FF user

Microsoft kind of did it with the new Edge:

I am using it, but Microsoft, as Brave and Google is a commercial entity I do not trust.

No, Mozilla needs to keep focusing on Mozilla and trying to make it better than Chromium. Competition is essential. They're the only ones left other than Apple now that Microsoft has given up.

Well Mozilla burnt my trust in them over the last couple of years ... maybe Brave?

Some don't like their model to tip content providers but they seem - and I've not made rigorous enquiries here (please inform!) - to be a relatively trustworthy mod of Chromium!?

Brave is commercial entity, same as Google.

Mozilla Corp isn't a charity, gets several hundred million $USD from Google, pays 7-figure wages, manipulates is users to achieve commercial aims, ... you're saying it's not a commercial entity?

There is a Chromium fork that does that already.
