Microsoft Edge privacy Whitepaper

Highly recommended for Windows. As for Linux, choose any from Microsoft Edge, Brave and Google chrome depending on your priorities

🌍 Brave
Windows and Linux: https://brave.com/download

🌎 Vanilla Chromium
Windows:

choco install chromium

To Install chocolatey package manager, see https://chocolatey.org/install

Linux:
⚠ Avoid getting chromium browsers from your distro repos, snap store or FlatPak. They delay updates and/or don't have robust CFI. Basically, less secure

You are better off with Google chrome if you want production build of vanilla chromium on Linux.

MagicGApps

Installs a regular open_gapps-* zip (except aroma variant) systemlessly as a magisk module. When the module is disabled, Google Play Services are automatically disabled on the next boot as well. This prevents continuous, disturbing gms crashes.

⚠ WARNING: This module deliberately disables GMSCore when it is turned off, so if you use MicroG alongwith this, it won't work. But there is a fix. Simply delete (after each flash of this):
/magisk/.core/service.d/MagicGApps.sh
or
/sbin/.core/img/.core/service.d/MagicGApps.sh

https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/MagicGApps/blob/master/README.md


📝 PRE-REQUISITES
Any open_gapps-* zip, opengapps.org except aroma variant
Custom recovery
Magisk

🏗 SETUP STEPS
Make sure an open_gapps-* zip (except aroma variant) exists somewhere in /sdcard or /external_sd directories or subdirectories.
Optional -- run touch /data/r to reinstall open_gapps-* zip (or touch /data/u to uninstall the module).
Optional -- set up a gapps-config.txt file (removal lists work as pseudo-removal lists -- systemless debloat).
Install from custom recovery (i.e., TWRP).
