-## Intro
-
-When I made the switch to Linux, I had to reconsider every choice I've made throughout the entire time I've been using Windows.
-Most of them were trivial choices, some took a bit of time but I eventually figured it out but one problem stood out to be much more difficult than the others:
-Which browser should I use?
-Spoiler alert, I'm still waiting for the _ultimate browser_^TM^ but at least now I have something to share.
-Make yourself comfortable because you're in for a ride.
-This is my journey to find the ultimate browser.
-
-## The beginning
-
-For us to talk about browsers, we first have to go all the way back to the early 2000s,
-when the only computer in my house was a old windows XP PC with a CRT monitor that was probably as old as me.
-When I was old enough to understand language, my father introduced me to my first browser: The Internet explorer (abbreviated to IE from this point onward).
-
-At the time, it was everything I wished for and more, but little did I know,
-IE was already on the decline while another browser was quietly climbing up the market share.

-
-One day, probably after my father upgraded the PC to Windows 7,
-the default browser was changed to some colorful ball looking thing.
-And its name was Google Chrome.
-
-Not much have changed with my browsing experience as I didn't use much internet back then - I didn't even know that YouTube was a thing -
-but the switch is worth mentioning because it made Chrome the browser that I grew up with instead of IE.
-
-## Switching to Linux
-
-By the time I was in grade 8 I considered myself to be quite a tech-savvy person.
-I knew how the internet worked behind the scene, I was able code basic programs, had some experience with Machine Learning and Linux,
-was interested in various online privacy and security issues, and was no stranger to the DIY culture.
-That, added with the fact that Microsoft was making Windows worse by day made me make the switch to Linux.
-And along the way, I ditched Google Chrome for Chromium.
-
-In hindsight, I could have chose a better browser like firefox but I chose Chromium because I couldn't <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>W</kbd> away pinned tabs.
-Sounds silly now but it was a big deal back then since the only browser I was familiar with was Google Chrome.
-
-Anyways, despite the poor decision,
-this is probably the most important day in my search for the ultimate browser since it was the first major change I made on my own.
-
-## Not enough
-
-When I made the switched to Chromium, I was disappointed to see no changes in my browsing experience whatsoever.
-Maybe if I used more advanced features I would have felt the difference but Chromium even supported account syncing back then
-so I didn't experience any.
-Familiarity isn't what I singed up for when I switched to Linux so I needed to find a new browser.
-
-After constantly switching browser every couple of weeks for the next two years,
-trying many, many different browsers, I finally settled on one: librewolf.
-
-## Is this it?
-
-I could write an entire post just listing what librewolf does things right but to keep things simple:
-it is not an obscure browser, it is secure, and it respects my privacy.
-To put it simply, it was the ultimate browser I was desperately looking for.
-
-After configuring librewolf to suit my need, I was happiest I've ever been using a browser.
-It created no cookies I didn't need, all my favorite extensions were there, and most importantly, I felt secure.
-Not a single site was broken (at the time), and the only problem I had was the lack of performance.
-I had to use chromium for io games that needed juicy 3 digit fps but other than that, I was satisfied.
-I used librewolf all the way until I entered college.
-
-## I came for copper but I found gold
-
-Librewolf slowly lost its charm when firefox - the browser librewolf is based on -
-was going in a direction I didn't like and some college related sites started breaking on librewolf.
-I also never got used to opening chromium every other day.
-One day, I was so fed up with the problems librewolf had that I decided to replace librewolf.
-
-I considered using raw chromium again since they removed much of google-specific code,
-but then I remembered that ungoogled chromium was a thing.
-
-When I first saw ungoogled chromium way beck when I was trying different browsers,
-it didn't really piqued my interest because back then I was heavily reliant on google's services
-but now I barely use them at all so I knew it would work perfectly for me now.
-
-I quickly configured ungoogled chromium to delete cookies and histories on exit, installed some of my favorite extensions,
-and changed some security related settings and I was shocked to see how closely it resembled the feelings of librewolf.
-As a added bonus, I don't have to open another browser to play io games.
-
-## Conclusion
-
-For now, I'm more than satisfied with ungoogled chromium but it's still far from being perfect.
-Though most if not all google-specific code was removed,
-the original code is written by Google and some of the borderline spyware features could potentially find its way to my computer.
-
-Currently I'm not actively looking for the ultimate browser (and I don't think it even exists yet),
-but I'm ready ditch ungoogled chromium the first chance I get.
-I'll make sure to make a follow-up post if that ever happens.
