Description This is getting a little silly now, guys. I appreciate the privacy benefits of Brave, but I don't really want to play whack-a-mole with Brave's forceful corporate advert...
Well several things from Google are open-source. Now to say it’s “libre” it’s better to use FLOSS. Otherwise people think it’s “free of cost”.
Basically, you have Chromium (open-source but with some Google shit in it) which is the base of Google Chrome (closed-source, with even more Google shit in it).
Some people made a fork from Chromium they called Ungoogled Chromium that removes the Google shit that was in it.
https://beakerbrowser.com/ Its open source, blocks ads by default, has a p2p system that is quite powerful and actively developed. Also has interesting features like have mulitple tabs open side by side like a wm and other cool things
Does anyone know of a better Chromium-based alternative?
Foss Chromium and Bromite are good.
You mean Ungoogled-chromium? The default version of chromium is already foss.
The name ‘ungoogled’ is too complicated. How can a Google software be foss?

PS: Bromite is based on Ungoogled Chromium

Chromium is still sponsored by Google, so they still represent the interests of Google I guess.
My favorite to use is Vivaldi. Not sure about its foss bona-fides, it’s just a pleasure to use.
Edit: It’s not FOSS, if that concerns you.
It is, thanks.

I’m familiar with Beaker but thought it was just experimental for sharing web pages peer-to-peer. Is it useful for actual everyday browsing?
Yeah it works perfectly fine for everyday browsing
