      Problem without solution.

      Chromium by Google, Safari by Apple, Firefox by Mozilla. All are developed by companies that are part of advertising industry.

          It’s not a comparison of how deep each of them are. It’s simple fact that they all are. Even defunct one like Internet Explorer or Edge were part of the same industry. It’s a pattern, not a coincidence.

            They all are NOT. Mozilla is not part of “the advertising industry”. Mozilla is a nonprofit organization which relies on funding from others, and occasionally puts advertising in their product to keep the lights on, they are not, primarily, an advertising organization.

            The solution, is quite literally, use Mozilla Firefox.
