What do you suggest as alternatives? Currently I'm using firefox which seems ok but I know they are propped up by google somewhat

Firefox, Safari, Brave, Vivaldi, Ungoogled Chromium.

Firefox is dependent on Google for funding, but not for source code. Brave is dependent on Google for source code, but not for funding. Safari is dependent on neither but Apple locks down the experience.

Hopefully Ladybird will deliver us from our Google dependence in a year or two. It's already usable for very light web browsing. I wrote this comment on Ladybird.

I mean, if your choices are "propped up somewhat by Google" and "literally run by literally Google"...
