I use Firefox as my daily driver but sometimes sites just work better on a chromium based browser. I had been using Brave but it seems like they keep adding on more bloat (crypto, VPN, AI) and I'm over it.

What chromium based browser would you recommend and why?

Not open source and last I checked you had to sign in to use it. Can’t imagine why people would use it.

I carefully hid some of the reasons I use it in the parent comment

Okay, that’s a hilarious response, but what I meant should have been obvious even if my phrasing was poor. I have trouble understanding why one would believe these features outweigh software freedom.

Just giving you a hard time. I prefer FOSS generally, but most of my time on a desktop is spent on the web, and Arc's tab/space management is far ahead of anything else right now. It genuinely makes my life easier. The UX is thoughtfully designed and cohesive; even if I could get close to this setup with Firefox extensions (and I tried), it would be janky (and it was).

I'm very much hoping some of Arc's UX and workflow ideas will be picked up by browsers generally.

Thank you for the follow up. Maybe I’ll give it another spin. I’ve been tinkering with floorp but it isn’t polished.
