A custom user.js might be a good base to work off of. For example https://github.com/yokoffing/Betterfox

But jumping ship might be your best bet. Forks like Librewolf are good or otherwise a privacy respecting Chromium browser can work well too.

    otherwise a privacy respecting Chromium browser

    With manifest v3 and this thing active on chromium browsers, privacy respecting chromium may not exist.

    Some browsers have built in adblock (by reimplementing mv2 apis or otherwise) and cut out the hangouts plugin or let you disable it

    Not all, but a couple

    For now, that's possible. But for how long? When mv2 came out, we had a few hold off as long as they could, but now they're all v2 or v3. New technology will always kill the old, whether or not it's better. It's only a matter of time. Going with a browser that has consistently made anticonsumer decisions because a different browser has made a few, doesn't seem like the sensible choice here. Granted, we should have a browser that hadn't made any such decisions, but we don't yet have one that I'm aware (I hope I'm wrong).

    Totally agree, unfortunately it's a question of whether Chromium forks can't keep up with cutting out Google stuff comes before or after Mozilla and/or their rendering engine falls apart.

    Fingers crossed for Ladybird + Servo
