> I wish the article explained why I _shouldn’t_ use a Chromium-based browser, as opposed to “just use Firefox.” Chrome is not the same as Chromium and this simple argument/request is not enough to convince me not to keep using Arc.

> If for privacy, I would not recommend Firefox nor any of the Firefox based browsers, those are just all crap in term of privacy https://digdeeper.neocities.org/articles/browsers#ffbased

> Maybe you can also take a look to Arc browser, Vivaldi or Brave.

> Give me tab grouping or give me death! Seriously though, why does Firefox not have tab grouping? In today's day and age, I can't live without it
