start using firefox or firefox derivatives like librewolf. I know people will say "but they don't have x feature" or "chrome is faster" well until they have the market share they won't be able to put the development cycles in to fix that stuff. google owning chrome and everyone using chrome based browsers is lining up a huge issue for the future.
From my experience, it's almost always "Chrome doesn't have feature x". It's the most feature poor browser currently in wide use. The only advantage that comes to mind is web dev tools, which: a) 99% of people don't care about, because they aren't web devs. b) Chromium also has, and it's like the considerably less infuriating twin.
Floorp is a nice one to use and deserves a mention.
Absolutely there are plenty of good niche ones. I think zen is based on Firefox as well and lots of people like it.
Mercury is another
Every once in a while I will try something like degoogled chromium because hey it’s probably a bit faster or works in a few more places.
But then nope, right back to librewolf. It works on everything I need it to work on, and I use the browser all day. I use Linux at work so all the Microsoft suite like outlook, teams, and onenote are webpages.
