I already use Firefox for browsing normally, but I have to test on a Chromium based browser too. One soft requirement is that it should be installable with Flatpak on Linux.

Unless something's changed recently, you can just install the Chromium browser itself. And it looks like it's available as a Flatpak. As a bonus this will eliminate anything extra added by browser manufacturers as a potential problem.

Yes. I’ve considered that, but does it still report back to Google? Even though that majority of what I visit will be “http://127.0.0.1:8080”, I’d still rather not be spied on by Google.

How about Ungoogled Chromium?

[–] hperrin@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I though that was Linux only, but I just looked it up and it is also available on Mac.

It’s not available on Windows, but I’m ok with that.

I will add that to the list to try out.

Definitely available on Windows too, here: https://chromium.woolyss.com/#windows

It does phone home, but with the right DNS settings you can block that. Heck, if you're just going to localhost you can disconnect the machine from the network entirely.
