I use Brave to test whether my websites work on Chromium browsers, but their scummy actions lately make me want to find a new Chromium browser to test with. What's the best Chromium based browser?

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.

I’ve just been using Edge when Firefox wont open a site. It’s installed by default and it’s just Chrome under the hood so it works. Plus, after Google’s new hostility to ad blocking I refuse to use any Chrome based browser as my default so one is as good as the other to me. They’re all just a temporary tool until I go back to using the only real web browser that I can, Mozilla Firefox.

hperrin,

Edge isn’t installed by default on any of the computers I use, and I’m not a huge fan of all the junk they put in it.

Also I just downloaded it on Mac and it’s a .pkg file, so that really sets off alarm bells.

It’s Chrome, it’ll be loaded with trash no matter what. There’s no clean version of garbage that you can install.

hperrin,

100% truth.

I just discovered Thorium the other day.

Diabolo96,

I’ve been using it for a few months now and it’s great. Firefox is my main browser but a chromium based one is good to have. Wonder why it asks for my password every now and then but think it’s likely auto update stuff.

hperrin,

Now this looks promising! The list of improvements and patches looks really nice.

The best Chromium browser in terms of compatibility is of course Google Chrome.

The best in terms of privacy is Vivaldi. (and i hate Vivaldi).

I haven’t tried Vivaldi. Is it available on Linux?

Edit: Looks like they do with both .deb and .rpm packages. They’re not on Flatpak, but the rpm would work for me on Fedora.
