I always feel they are monitoring me.

https://www.chromium.org

It's the non-commercial version, a requirement of the Open Source licences Google built Chrome upon.

I use it on linux machines, my desktop, a laptop, and a Raspberry Pi. It's the default browser on the Pi. Chromium has a blue logo-icon, not polychromatic.

Yes, I do use an inexpensive Chromebook as one of my travelling machines, but that identity isn't shared on any other device.

I acquired a Windows laptop for a job last year, and I was thinking I really should keep current with Windows 10, maybe using it daily instead of late night Windows cramming whenever I've got no choice, but last week I said to myself fuck this and I turned it into a nice little Debian machine. I could madly push F12 as it's starting up to select a Windows boot, but it's not likely I will, not unless someone pays me.

Okay, I don't get this guy. I'd expect anyone who plays with cryptography would have multiple computers, browsers, identities, and IP addresses.

You's pick your browser and you's take you's chances. Internet privacy is a difficult thing.

This is posted from a Chromebook.

the problem is hard to find a good alternative. Firefox sucks these days

You can use Chrome Extensions
