So what's the go to now?
In 90 days this might be the provable top choice for all desktop OSes :
https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium/blob/master/docs/platforms.md
Its working fine now, and attracting more developers.
Its just Chromium source code, with some niceties added, and some privacy added.
window, mac, linux, full source code
full COMPLETE source code up to date, not "held back longer and longer until its months between source code updates"
Google declared open war on Chromium source code for the first time, less than 4 weeks ago, so this is the obvious outcome... grass roots uprising
What that link offers :
ungoogled-chromium is Google Chromium, sans dependency on Google web services.
Disable functionality specific to Google domains (e.g. Google Host Detector, Google URL Tracker, Google Cloud Messaging, Google Hotwording, etc.)
This includes disabling Safe Browsing (snitching to google)
Block internal requests to Google at runtime. This feature is a fail-safe measure for the above, in case Google changes or introduces new components that our patches do not disable. This feature is implemented by replacing many Google web domains in the source code with non-existent alternatives ending in qjz9zk
Strip binaries from the source code!!!!!!!
Force all pop-ups into tabs
disable hiding "http://" or other nonsense
hundreds of little features many chromium forks also implement : https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium#feature-overview
