This is why the [gestures broadly to Lemmy community] evangalizes for Linux so much, everyone is going have to learn a new OS anyway. Aside from what ever Apple is doing, there really are only two choices, a free and open source suite of software that is trusted because everything is public and auditable, or an OS that activly contributes to the creation of the Torment Nexus.

Also, didn’t opera sell to some spyware company? I’m team zen (firefox fork with some very neat extra features) btw.
opera has been owned by chinese company since 2016.
You forgot the step where you ignore step 2 and use Firefox.
