I'm frustrated with web browsers. Why can't a browser be just a browser? I recently re-installed my Linux OS and decided to try a bunch of the "more private" browsers. Having used Firefox for so many years, I thought LibreWolf would be great alternative but I NEED DARK MODE and dark mode is a fingerprinting metric and it is not available unless you go through hoops and self compile. Brave makes users profiles near impossible to use. I ended up giving Ungoogled-Chromium a try. So far, almost everything is good. I'm unable to login to some sites using cloudflare captchas. I have not tried my bank websites yet. I expect problems there as well. If we can't spy on you, you can't use our service. Rant over!
