It sounds like you're happy to hand control of your browser away for free. I've been writing code for a few decades, I don't know everything but I don't need someone to decide for me what's too dangerous for me to have access to.

If I was truly insane I'd go the Steve Gibson route and write a completely different browser from scratch. I'm aware it would take the rest of my life (or longer) at this point but the engine options are so few, and the ability to avoid the owners' restrictive BS limited enough, that I'd be happy as a clam to see a whole new reboot.

I'd jump onto even an alpha of that, just to bump numbers out of hope that ANY group could get together and get out from under the advertising trap.

There is a lot of room for a new type of browser that doesn’t treat “install base” as a reason not to try.
