Eh, I think that’s a stretch. Right now, Lemmy is going nuclear on Firefox. Should I also stop using Librewolf, too, because ultimately, it contributes to Firefox? Chromium is solid and I think it’s better to show what type of chromium we want instead of outright boycotting the entire open source project.
Comment on Why I recommend against Brave.

Okay, but that’s not a privacy reason.

It is still a privacy reason. You are still contributing to googles plans to dominate and control the internet by using a chromium product.

But neutered Chrome (aka repurposed + degoogled Chromium) isn’t the same as Google Chrome. I 100% understand what you’re saying, but I wouldn’t file this under “privacy” (at least not without some asterisks).

A neutered fascist is still a fascist.
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 10 months ago
its still furthering googles control of the internet, which is an inherent threat to privacy, regardless if you think you are participating in it or not.

Forks of Firefox are still Firefox, no matter how neutered it is.

I don’t know about every Chromium-based browser, but I can tell you that I went back to Firefox and regret nothing (I was on Brave). Firefox has gotten a lot better lately, especially on desktop. For example, they added a native auto-PiP option, which is super helpful for those of us who watch YouTube/videos while flipping through tons of tabs.

I’m using Vivaldi, and ublock origin seems to be still working for me.
