The user has basic computer literacy, which is why having auto updates is something they’d like for the convenience. Addons are needed for uBlock Origins and such.

Having used Firefox for so many years, I honestly haven’t a clue. Should i go with just vanilla Chromium? Or are there better options? Thanks in advance, Lemmy.

    Did I force OP to use Firefox or anything? Yes? No? Did I tell him “NOOOO YOU CAN’T USE CHROMIUM BROWSERS!!!”? I don’t think I forced anybody to do what I say. Mine were only recommendations, according to MY own experiences.

    There is no Chromium-based with good privacy and auto-updates, it is obvious that Gecko-based browsers are superior for privacy. Blink-based if you want security instead. If you know any Blink browser with good privacy and auto-updates, you’re welcome to give recommendations, instead of attacking other people. And no, UG Chromium does not have automatic updates.

    I believe is because of replies like yours that people think privacy advocates are aggressive and toxic, don’t you think?

    EDIT: if you want a good amount of privacy, you have to give up on a good amount of convenience. The same goes for the opposite. Period.
