Since it looks like Firefox might not be a good option for the long haul due to some disappointing decisions from its management, I’m on the lookout for privacy-friendly alternatives. I came across Cromite, which is based on Chromium and has an ad blocker. Has anyone tried it? From what I’ve seen, the built-in ad blocker seems pretty basic and not very customizable. Still, I think any alternative we choose should be based on Chromium, especially if we don’t want to wait ages for Ladybird.

Justifying url injections for money? Ads are one thing, but anyone that knew that their browser was “secretly” injecting stuff into the url would be creeped the hell out. I don’t see how this browser is private at all.
It was injecting specific urls when one was using their crypto shit. The got caught and corrected it. Again, not saying this is justified but among the others I find Brave the least shit. It’s the only browser that can trick effectively coveryourtracks.eff.org
