I don't "bypass" Chrome when they want to melt my brain with their business model, I use Firefox. I don't "bypass" Windows when they want to melt my brain with their business model, I use Linux. No idea why so many "hackers" doing "bypasses" can't instead take action that is simpler, long lasting, and easier. Do people need to jerked around 50 times for 20 years before realizing it will keep happening and their "bypasses" are just temporary bandaids?

Firefox is not a Chromium fork

And that makes it better why? Come on, this is pretty low hanging fruit.

Because it is an independent codebase free from any design decisions from Google. Chromium derivatives cannot stray far from Google’s interests.

Says who? It's opensource and has a BSD license, you can literally do whatever you want with it.
