What chromium based browser do you recommend and why?

I use Firefox as my daily driver but sometimes sites just work better on a chromium based browser. I had been using Brave but it seems like they keep adding on more bloat (crypto, VPN, AI) and I’m over it....

none. chromium is a google (-endorsed) product, who put their own little tracking tidbits into the chromium project. if you still want to use a chromium-based browser, i have two ‘suggestions’:

brave. renowned in the privacy community but has had a few suspicious moments, and honestly i just don’t trust their whole big-tech thing they got going on.

ungoogled-chromium. basically just the chromium browser but without the google shit in it. no extra privacy-advancing features as far as i’m aware though, and extensions don’t seem to work.

now if you really want a good browser, go for either of the following firefox-like browsers:

firefox with arkenfox user.js. firefox as you know and love it, with the arkenfox privacy tinkering. i haven’t tested it and its apparently a bit difficult to install and configure, but i’ve heard its really helpful with privacy.

librewolf. a privacy-first firefox fork developed by an independent developer and contributors, no big-tech bullshit. my personal daily driver.

anyway, sorry for the rant, but there u go.
