switched to Firefox after an acid trip

I finally understand what Stallman was talking about. Users of nonfree software are slaves.

• Even Chromium phones home to Google
• Alternative Chromium forks like Brave, Iridium, or ungoogled-chromium all have unique fingerprints as non-mainstream browsers. This defeats the purpose of using them. Also you aren't auditing the binary builds of these, which are done by anonymous randoms in their free time.
• You de facto can't compile your own Chromium or maintain your own fork. Besides the cognitive time investment, it would take days to compile, discouraging you from rebasing and re-compiling to apply the latest security updates.
• Mozilla allows you to run a self-hosted sync server, if you really need bookmark/settings syncing.
• Chromium having a faster JavaScript engine is largely irrelevant since a properly paranoid user would block most JavaScript.
• I'd gladly pay for better hardware to run inefficient Firefox if it means being less vulnerable to surveillance.

Change my mind.

What exactly were you doing with your Chrome setup that made it so much simpler than Firefox? Firefox has trashed their extension ecosystem now, but Chrome's was shit prior to that and hasn't really improved.

I stick with Firefox because even Quantum still uses less memory than Chrome. I'm even more likely to stick with it now that Microsoft has killed Trident. Fuck Google.
