Firefox at least does not participate in Chrome's dominance. I consider Firefox the better option for no.

But indeed, the funding from Google is a big issue for me. I hope they eventually manage to get rid of it. It's not sustainable, and also one can't be 100% free to say fuck the Google's business model while relying on Firefox. I also suspect this funding may be preventing Firefox from being as good as possible with respect to privacy, to avoid upsetting Google. I would not be surprised there is something related in the contract between Google and Mozilla.

More generally, all the 3 current mainstream browser engines depend on GAFAM funding and I don't like it.

I'm looking at emerging alternatives with great interest. I see new developments on Servo and Ladybird with a good eye.
