Vivaldi ftw. The only Chromium browser I trust and use.
It isn't even open source. I don't trust it, but it's my primary browser because I love its customization stuff and because it's Chromium (I have a potato laptop and Gecko is known for higher memory usage).
I was ignoring the 92% percent part of it in my original comment when I said "not even open-source" because I think pretty much all privacy advocates know that it is built on top of Chromium.
I am not sure what your true source is, but mine is this from where I am quoting:
While they release the source code of the UI elements, it seems that they only release a obfuscated version of the UI source code, which I am afraid won't go well If I want to easily "audit and go through". Though it's possible they have now changed their minds and my news sources are outdated.
Vivaldi is good, but it's getting bloated as hell. Not to mention it's going to be affected by manifest v3, which worries me.
