I've tried nearly every browser out there and these are my top 6 (none are Chrome) (www.zdnet.com)

The title is err, not correct because the top 2 alternatives Opera and Arc are based on Chromium engine. I have seen tons of people swear by Arc, but I am seriously asking (since as a Linux user I can't use it), how much good can a browser be in this day and age if ultimately it's ad blocking breaks and it will since Manifest v2 will go soon(unless Arc folks have a solution for it)

The rest alternatives are Firefox, Zen (FF fork but honestly Atleast this was something new I learned from this article) and Tor (which is weird since it is not meant for normal web browsing and using it will not only be slow but put additional strain on the nodes, correct me if I am wrong).

Chrome is not the same thing as Chromium.

ITT: people who like to argue about all manner of things except whether or not Chrome and Chromium are the same thing.

Chrome in a trench coat, if you will

Its as good as. when Google decides to remove manifest v2 support, it is removed from chromium, right?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

It removes it from Chromium, but there's nothing stopping them from manually adding it back before releasing it. Though it would be a lot of work.

Putting aside whether it's "as good as", it's still not.

Ok. But what's the problem with chrome right now? They're killing ad block. But they're not actually, chromium is.

So anytime someone says "I'm leaving chrome because they suck for killing ad block" they mean "I'm leaving chromium because they suck for killing ad block".

Does that clarification help then?

There is no clarification required. Nothing you said indicates that Chrome = Chromium.
