There are a number of different angles to look at the Chromium vs Firefox debate. I like it when extensions are available for both, as both Chromium and Firefox browsers each have their advantages, but I understand how that is difficult.

There are different levels to ungoogling, and while using chromium based browsers instead of chrome is a step in the right direction, there is alot of confusion about what that actually means in terms of privacy, security, tracking etc… Beyond that, there are broader issues the more chromium/chrome browsers become the “standard”. Having a selection of tools available to choose from while engaging online is important.

That being said, I also use chromium based browsers in my workflow. I actually really like Vivaldi (even though it seems dated) and Brave (despite not living up to the speed/privacy hype) and use Google Chrome most often when I need to use Google’s services. The issue is that none of them remain stable when left open and running for a length of time. They slow down, and then tabs begin to crash. This is one of the major reasons why I prefer Firefox more than the alternatives. I have certainly thought about how I could change my browsing habits. Less windows and less tabs, more frequent shut downs etc….

The Braintool chrome extension is attractive because I could see it help add a layer of organization to my browser. I also like that organization is easily accessible outside the browser as an text file.

I hope it finds it way to firefox, or that I am able to find a similar tool. I am looking at Braintool after considering looking into some sort of bookmark/link manager.
