So you seem pretty well versed in the topic and I've been using Brave for a very long time. But what chromium alternative would you recommend that tries to accomplish what Brave clearly isn't doing well? I'm open to switching but also not really interested in Firefox.

Water we gonna do about it
On the user friendly note... The unfortunate part is that I'd love to use Signal, but there is no one on it. And I don't mean that millions of people use it is today, but there isn't a single person in my circle that uses it. Even if i started today and convinced one person, to use it, it wouldn't be something that I would default to because the non privacy focused apps are just easier.
So my arguement is there are no simple alternatives because every alternative still hasn't solved the population/popularity issue. I need one of these apps to be able to import ongoing groups and conversations that people can just immediately pick up in signal when I abandon whatsapp or whatever.... That's before I start using it, let alone my mom.
I do hope they get there though
What I miss most is just how much information was available and crammed on the main page without a need to scroll or click. These days it's all nonsense white space and hamburger menus.
