Some other thread yesterday linked to ungoogled chromium [1] which sounded like a good idea to me but in practise I'd have to build it myself which Im not really comfortable with.
I'd probably get it to run but it would need more time than I'm willing to invest in this. Plus would I have to build it new everytime there's an update‽
If you're using Archlinux, there's an AUR package. That means you can build it like any other package with makepkg or a helper program like pacaur. If hardware resources are an issue, it's probably not too hard to rent a powerful linode server for an hour or 2 to build the package and then transfer it to your local machine. I imagine it would only cost a couple of bucks max.
Browsers have become so complicated that it's essentially a miniature OS inside our OS, and even building it from source as an experienced developer is hard. On top of that, there is a sort of inherent monopoly with browsers, and all browser vendors have some agenda or another. This is a weird age for software developers and users.

It's just to much hassle for me.
