Things I want from a web browser:
1) The ability to see web pages.
2) The ability to block all ads and trackers.
3) No telemetry.
4) The ability to customise the appearance a bit to fit the rest of my desktop.
5) (Optional) The ability to sync some things between devices.
That's it. Literally everything else is bloat.
Why do browser companies feel the need to prove that they're constantly adding features? It's a web browser, not a fucking operating system. All the desirable features already exist, just keep the browser stable and secure.
