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.
What chromium based browser would you recommend and why?
I just use Chromium and go through all settings once to disable every function that isn’t “show me the website behind the URL I just typed”. Then I install ublock and switch the default search engine to Qwant.
I do the same thing as well. I still can’t determine the difference between unGoogled Chromium and Chromium, but my assumption is that chromium is closer to unGoogle Chromium than Chrome, and just require some of the default settings to be adjusted…
I just tried out Ungoogled. It doesn’t let you choose Google as search engine, doesn’t come out of the box with the ability to install extensions (which depends on Google’s Chrome Web Store), is missing some options that use Google’s servers if activated, is stripped of all Google design elements (which gives it a very minimalistic look), and has very privacy-oriented defaults.
Which makes it pretty jarring that there’s still a “Google and me” tab in the settings that contains almost no options because everything Google-related was removed.
