I am trying to get better with my privacy, and I specifically want to try and avoid big US tech where possible. I know they there are many people saying you should use multiple browsers for better privacy and all that stuff, but I’m also being realistic with myself - I just want a solid browser experience that has decent privacy and i can live with that for the most part. Not opposed to maybe 2 browsers, but I’d like one daily driver, especially for work.

I do a lot of social media management and am using the Steam backend daily as I work for a game studio. I need to use YouTube and Bluesky and all those things, so it needs to handle media.

I’m running Vivaldi at the moment after jumping off Chrome. I don’t need to use Chromium. I was trialing Orion on my Mac but I use a Linux machine at home, a windows PC sometimes at work, having something across all would be nice and once again I know that is not 100% privacy, but it’s better than the average user.

Advice would be super appreciate.

Librewolf if you want something more heavy handed with the privacy. It can break some websites though if you don’t tune it. Firefox for an every-man browser that isn’t chromium based. I personally run Firefox with ublock because I’m not looking to use Google stuff anymore. I’m waiting to see Orion’s deployment on Windows and Linux. I’ve been using that on my iPad and phone and like its potential.
