I moved from FF to Vivaldi (couldn't find better browser, and form that to LibreWolf) due to how shitty the Mozilla Corp is. We need a fair player here but doesn't seem that we gonna have anything anytime soon

Mozilla is shitty, so you're opting for Google instead? That's like saying the air quality is bad, and opting to jump in the ocean and drown.
@Evkob @Gargari, this is not so clear, Mozilla has made a pact with the devil some years ago and is sponsored by Google, it even employs several Google devs who develop FF, the risk of depending on outside investors. Chromium is certainly from Google, but it is, just like Gecko, FOSS and therefore every browser developer is free to gut it, throwing out any Google API, which they are doing in Vivaldi (leaving some to the user's choice in settings), no homecalls to Google.
