You have 3 options at this point: Browsers based on Chrome, browsers based on Firefox, or Safari. I know KDE is working on a Linux only browser but it's a LONG way from being mature. Bottom line: what exactly are we supposed to do?

My honest opinion?

Now that Google less than 4 weeks ago declared war on the official open source Chromium tree used by all of Googles competitors... I would suggest using a clean vanilla Chromium build, lacking the 30% of hidden stuff Google , Microsoft, Brave, keeps in private source.

Real Chromium is messy this month, but if everyone jumped to it and created a funded non-leftist non-woke foundation to keep it organized... Chromium could rapidly replace Google Chrome :

That being said, until this patch is made in this thread, and where the bug is, theres no telling if its a Chromium bug or a Google Chrome bug. I think its sadly a chromium bug, but we will all know next tuesday.

I'll stick with Brave for the time being. But I'm really hoping that KDE browser can get a foothold. I'd legit swap my DE to use it if it matures enough. We NEED an alternative that doesn't drink woke kool-aid
