I've tried nearly every browser out there and these are my top 6 (none are Chrome)

www.zdnet.com I've tried nearly every browser out there and these are my top 6 (none are Chrome)

If you're finally ready to leave Chrome behind, these are my top recommendations and when to use them.

The title is err, not correct because the top 2 alternatives Opera and Arc are based on Chromium engine. I have seen tons of people swear by Arc, but I am seriously asking (since as a Linux user I can't use it), how much good can a browser be in this day and age if ultimately it's ad blocking breaks and it will since Manifest v2 will go soon(unless Arc folks have a solution for it)

The rest alternatives are Firefox, Zen (FF fork but honestly Atleast this was something new I learned from this article) and Tor (which is weird since it is not meant for normal web browsing and using it will not only be slow but put additional strain on the nodes, correct me if I am wrong).

Anyone have any thought on Orion? I know it lets you use chrome and Firefox extensions and safari/macos features. Is this the right direction or a triple hitter of danger?
- No Linux or Android support, so I literally can't tell you.
  
  I use Firefox and Firefox forks.
  
  That’s what I was assuming till I got curious. I found this an hour later I posted my first comment: https://lemm.ee/post/52205220 About a year ago they started working on a Linux version. I think I saw a GitHub repo on a quick search.
  
  If they make a flatpak available, I'll give it a shot.
  
  Linux
  
  Found this link.
  
  GitHub
  
  Org here. They have four repos:
  
  Notes - readme and a license, no code
  
  iOS app open - blank readme
  
  DarkMode - <30 line script
  
  Programmable buttons - random macOS-specific XML files, no actual code
  
  I hope that changes, but for now their repo is essentially empty.
