Serious question: why this rather than Brave?
For those who have been following my progress on this: I have finally switched my last few computers over to using https://thorium.rocks browser.
It’s not a no-Google browser, but it is a “less-Google” browser, with several privacy settings improved by default, security patches applied, and performance optimizations built in, including some for acceleration on Linux.
I suggest giving it a try if you live in Chromium land, and supporting the dev. It’s a very small contributor base, but updates come fast, so they’re working hard.

I didn’t jive with brave. The crypto and ad stuff was offputting but not a deal breaker. It also felt slow. I guess it was mostly subjective.
Tbh, this is a crap time to be multi platform, especially on Nostr.
Want bookmark sync across iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux? Sure, use chrome or brave.
Use chrome or brave? Sorry, no extension support on iOS. You’ll have to use safari.
Firefox? Nothing works on Firefox, and Firefox is just a fancy way of saying “Google funded PAC that happens to make a browser.”
What about using native browsers on each platform and syncing bookmarks? Too bad - none of them support Apple at the very least.
Proper extension sync? Chrome only. Good luck on iOS.
Tbh it’s a frustrating time to deal with web tech.
Works w/ chrome and firefox and mobile.
On IOS the Orion browser supports Chrome extensions.
