Greetings! I have recently ditched google and went with privacy focused alternatives. Such as SearXNG, Invidious, Lemmy etc.

However, while i was using degoogled chromium, i cant install extensions.

Is there any way i can install extensions on Degoogled Chromium? (ik this isnt the right place to ask but eh)

Thanks a lot!

This must be very specific and probably heavly bloated with unecessary stuff? (With probably alot of telemetry and other strange things...)

I have never encountered any breaking of styling/css, except with some specific addons (no-script, heavy dns blocking, ublock in hard mode...)

Not that I doub your claims, but if you have any example on hand I would be very open to give it a try and maybe learn something new in the web realm.

I remember trying to style a range input slider a few years ago and it worked everywhere except firefox. I also had problems with the style of the recently (inverted colors, wrong font). Not a big deal, I still drive firefox daily, but there are idiosyncrasies

Discrepancies between the two systems doesn't mean there necessarily is a certain number of websites that the average user wouldnt be able to use in Firefox.

You are talking from the creator viewpoint not the end user, thats way different.

All true! I suppose I replied to a comment saying sites were nonfunctional, but that's more extreme than what I mean. The only nonfunctional sites Ive read about are from hackernews threads talking about WebGPU.
