If FF isn’t for you then maybe give Brave a try. It’s basically a de-googled Chrome.

Isn’t Chromium degoogled Chrome?

Ungoogled Chromium is degoogled Chrome, the regular Chromium is just Chrome without (most of?) the proprietary / closed source components

Kinda, but it still connects to Google for updates for example, and syncs your browsing data to Google if you login. So it’s really only halfway there.

It does have some weird crypto stuff it promotes/offers after a vanilla install, but you can hide literally all of it. Brave is my daily driver, and looking at my installs you’d never know it had crypto stuff integrated.

Idk, people are weird sometimes. I use FF myself, but I think Brave is a good alternative. Definitely better than using Chrome imo.
