There are not dozens of alternative browsers. There is Chromium, Safari, and Firefox, with a few niche options that aren’t really production ready yet and may never be. The “variety” you speak of is just Chromium in lots of disguises.
And here, my friend, you forgot what OP was posting about. Let me refresh your memory. Built in advertising. They don’t like it. So … even if we ignore the dozens of non-Chromium non-Firefox based browsers on the market, like you did for no good reason, OP could still solve their problem by using one of these derivatives.
Anyway, I didn’t forget. I just pointed out that we have an illusion of choice, and that a lot of people who use Firefox do so, at least in part, to fight the Google monoculture.
As for your claim that there are dozens of alternative browser engines on the market, you’re going to have to provide some evidence for me to take that seriously. And remember I was limiting the scope to browsers that could feasibly be used as a daily driver for the modern web, not some pet project that crashes when you try to load DoorDash.
I think people need to appreciate that Mozilla is probably the only company in the world who will allow you to turn off ads like this, for free.
Low friggin’ bar.
Yet one so many competitors fail to clear.
Low bar, but that’s how far our options have sunk.
Ah hahahaha no. That’s not even close to true. Do we seriously need to mention the dozens of alternative web browsers out there?

Facts and logic, together!
So condescending for no good reason…
