Ah, I see.

Yeah, I hate how many browsers are hiding the "Inspect" and "view source" buttons. They are definitely gone from most mobile browsers.

Still, libre software like invidious front-end and NewPipe app still allow you to download and have done all that *right click*, *inspect*, *delete* on ads for you.

For YouTube at least.

you can "inepsect" all the "elements" you want... doesn't help when google changes the internet to obscure the source behind a "secure" paywall.

Don't use any Chromium browsers, they're all spyware garbage. This includes Chrome, Opera GX, Brave, Epic Browser, Microsoft Edge (which also sends your data straight to Microsoft, not just Google), Opera, Samsung Internet, Vivaldi, Yandex, etc.

Support other browsers that are based on things like Gecko, such as Firefox. Still one of the most popular browsers, with multiple forks and rebrands that are more popular on Linux.

There's also Tor, if you want to go down that rabbit hole.

There's also Tor.

Avoid Waterfox, it was acquired a while ago by a marketing company called System1.

Librewolf is barely worthy of the name fork, it is just a rebranded Firefox running a custom configuration out of the box with a hand full of Linux-only/ARM-only patches with no meaningful impact.

If you spend 2 minutes in the Firefox settings you can emulate the majority of its configuration, within just a few minutes all the primary reasons people mention when going with LibreWolf they can set up themselves.

If LibreWolf is a fork then so is the Fedora version of Firefox, they patch it harder than LibreWolf patches their browser.

1st.
There is also a custom firefox profile, just search for "arkenfox user.js" and it should appear using your favorite search engine. It does pretty much the same, if not more to harden your browser.
secondly, how exactly does Fedora change Firefox? I couldn't find any straight answer after a quick search.

sounds like Firefox propaganda that gets spread around on firefox Reddit (and this is coming from someone who had been using them since the very beginning up Intill a year ago) The built-in cryptocurrency earning plugin is entirely optional and can be completely disabled. It easy to dig up dirt on fixfox aswell, their record isn't exactly squeaky clean.
It's optional yes, but the main reason for most people to use it is still the free crypto. Brave's marketing scheme focuses people's greed with the promise of free crypto.

The only reason the browser is even alive is because of this crypto. Without the crypto very few people would actually be using it.

The massive amount of Brave spam with referal links and posts saying that they earned $1000 in a year is disgusting.

I have principles and refuse to endorse mindless greed. Crypto is just as fake as the stock market, it provides nothing of value.

You clearly have no idea how crypto or the stock market works 😭😭😭 go use snips or something to educate yourself

Crypto is just a pyramid scheme and nothing else. Anyone who says otherwise is actively trying to be scammed by falling for a make-believe get-rich-quick scheme.

The stock market comment was a joke mostly refering that nowadays it is just bots trading with bots and big guys trying to rip off the little ones.

Use Firefox or ungoogled chromium.
Also Brave is about as trust worthy as Donald Trump lol

Chromium does not equal Chrome. Google has subverted chromium to build the arguably best-performing browser out there. I have also heard good things about Opera GX performance-wise. But you can look online for some opposing opinions about the vpn. Here is one but if you want more opinons (of course), there are more, just search.

https://www.techradar.com/reviews/opera-vpn

Read the Opera vpn EULA carefully--many times something touted as free to use makes money off user data-mining. If you read the wiki, Opera has been around since 1995 (!) but was sold to a Chinese consortium in 2016. Nuff said.
