I mean, agreed, but Chromium and Chrome are different. Just in case you thought they are the same, wasn’t exactly clear to me. But I also might remember wrong, in my memory Chromium is the base for Chrome and has a lot less Google stuff baked in.
I’m aware that they’re different. Chromium is a much better option that Chrome, but not a good option for privacy. If you like Chromium, try UnGoogled Chromium!
What is wrong with Chromium with uBlock origin? I was a Brave user then after all their controversies I moved on to Chromium. I use FF primarily though, only Chromium for websites that have issues
Chromium bundles a lot of google telemetry into it, even though it is the open source base of Chrome. Ungoogled Chromium is a recommendation that’s actually private. I also only use Chromium for websites that have issues.
I have tried Ungoogled Chromium before. While it’s undeniably better in security and privacy, there were also many things that are not so convenient such as installing extensions, streaming with widevine DRM etc. For a program that serves the sole purpose of filling the compatibility gap, vanilla Chromium is more optimal for me than Ungoogled Chromium

I dont think I can take that article seriously when they recommend Chromium with uBlock as an alternative 💀
