Singular? Looks like 40K users makes it pretty well known

Still a nice to have. IIRC Firefox has had a few of these for quite a while too.

Get a good browser —- Brave, Firefox, Librewolf, Mullvad or Safari —- and you won’t need any.

Addons make you more easily fingerprintable, from what I understand.
