The word "happily" is out of context.

I have used Chrome (Android/ChromeOS)_, Edge (windows), IE (various cursed versions on Windows) and Safari (Apple Things)  to "browse the web" and get a different browser such as Firefox, seamonkey, Vivaldi, Waterfox, Chromium and others.

I'd be on Vivaldi if about:config didn't exist. The only reason I'm not is more flexible script blocking on Firefox to suit TheGuardian web news.

I've not used Vivaldi since last year:

They claim to not have AI.

I use copy / paste to https://libretranslate.com/ if I need translation.

There is no Cloud. Only other people's servers!
