Use LibreWolf/firefox and UBlock Origins and kick the data collectors to the curb.

Libewolf is firefox, and i would suggest canvas, an anti fingerprinting extention and noscript, but it breaks a ton of sites

LibreWolf is a fork with more privacy protections. Firefox has some shitty people in charge now and can’t be counted on being good in the future.
From what I understand you don’t want to use too many addons because that will also help fingerprint your machine. But I’ll give that one a look!

Own browser, or slap on their own user interface and extensions on Chromium?

Lol, def prob going to be Chromium based. Chromium browsers aren't bad per se but Google definitely has a lot of influence in priority.

I read another article that said they're planning to use a custom fork of Chromium.

yea well have fun collecting data from many tech bros I guess

You’d think tech bros would understand the tech better and not want to get harvested by a shitty corporation. 😂
They’ll be the first batch of “worshippers” 🙄

They will start paying you peanut flakes, to harvest every word you write directly and to allow them to use your browser as a scraping bot, mark my words
