Or just use Firefox because even using chromium is empowering Google to keep playing these games. Maybe you have a problem with Firefox (most people won't notice the difference) but is that problem worse that the problem you have with Google?

This. People like to complain about problems, but I wonder why they don't invest half that energy in actually fixing the problems.

> Maybe you have a problem with Firefox (...)

I've started to notice there is a very vocal opposition of Firefox whose common trait is that they actually do not or cannot present any tangible argument against Firefox. They just shit talk about Firefox, and hand-wave their criticism with inane comments like "they lost the boat".

Sometimes I wonder where that absurdity comes from.

What if my problem is that it's funded by Google to the tune of a billion a year and spent a large part of the last two years trying to reposition itself as an ad company?

I use Brave and never seen those popups. Only read about them. I didn't configure anything special, as far as I remember.
