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.

Brave, FOSS. Because it's the best one I have found for my use case. Been using it since 2021, after some 20 years with FF. No regrets.
20 years with Fx*
I am surprised by the lack of people mentioning brave, i swear it used to be mentioned everywhere.
Did something happen or did a newer better browser come out?
It sucks ass, it's just chrome plus some crypto bullshit.
It is not at all like chrome other than it uses chromium which is not inherently bad, its just googles use of it in chrome that is.
You can turn off like 2 toggle buttons and see nothing related to crypto ever.
It's chromium, thus evil, according to the narrow minded community.
Yean chromium itself is not evil, its Google's use of it in chrome that is evil, people confuse this a lot I think.
