    Lots to cover here, so I will keep this short.

    • What about IdleDetection API?
    • What about Manifest V3 adoption to limit memory for extensions?
    • What about Vivaldi being Blink (Chrome engine) based?
    • What about the 5% closed source code, and the lies regarding security and performance benefits?

    Coming to that Tor being insecure against fingerprinting, this is clearly FUD. The article you linked refers not to fingerprinting aspect, but the zero day or bug issues in Tor ecosystem. Fingerprinting is entirely a different matter. That link you sent refers to a security loophole in Tor culture, whereas fingerprinting issue refers to an anonymity aspect of the traffic you generate.

    Countering surveillance advertising starts not from marketing buzzwords, but from avoiding the rendering engine monopoly. But I guess you are finding different ways to justify using Chrome-based browser since Firefox may not be compatible with the couple websites you like to use.

    This is the reality, but I know you will not like it.
