Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent. At a billion-device scale the climate costs are insane. (www.thatprivacyguy.com)

Well, there are, but they just happen to be using webkitgtk2 or qtwebkit, which can be problematic on websites made with modern, bloated frameworks. And, ad blocking options are more limited absent ublock. Depends on your definition of good I suppose. I much prefer minimalist browsers, like vimb, and then just avoid bloated and ad-riddled sites. But, I inevitably need to use librewolf for some stuff.

edit: on linux anyway
