From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

A little admiration of how easy UI customization is on Firefox, and how shitty Chromium looks.

I wrote Chromiun in the description too. Chrome is simply what people use.

Plain Chromium, even with all GUI settings, all degoogle policy configs and flags enabled, contacts Google like hell.

I tried googeeteller and its scary.

Have not tried Vivaldi for a long time, but its fingerprinting resistance was nonexistent, it is filled with useless features and has no container support, so nah.
