If it really has to be a Chromium browser, Vivaldi will do the trick.
And if you REALLY take security seriously, LibreWolf is based on Firefox but without the annoying stuff from Mozilla attached to it.
Vivaldi a privacy respecting browser? It's closed source and barely has any concern on the matter.
Nah, they have a big concern on that matter. Not collecting or selling your data is one of their main selling points lol. Also, while not completely open source, the main changes they do to the chromium base is open for everyone
I personally trust Vivaldi because they haven't slipped up once so far. Besides the open source dispute, it's easily the least controversial company.
Not a fan of Vivaldi either but it's not closed source. https://vivaldi.com/source/
Though the source code doesn't even get a link on their website so I can see why people think that.
Edit: I was wrong, there's closed source parts (the UI).
Isn't Chromium already ungoogled and Chrome is the googled browser?
Chromium has a lot of google stuff that's just open source. Chrome, the google browser, adds on top of that OSS google stuff proprietary google stuff.
In this context when I say "google stuff" I mean "things google uses to track you or otherwise pipeline you to google products"
You are fooling yourself if you think you can really "ungoogle" chromium.
How so? What's wrong with Ungoogled Chromium (besides it being Chromium)?
They won't respond because they just want you to use Firefox instead
I already use Firefox. I'm just confused as to what's wrong with Ungoogled Chromium. ~Cherri
There's really nothing wrong with it. The only thing that Firefox enthusiasts are concerned about is that you contribute to the Chromium monopoly by using Ungoogled Chromium.
I wouldn't consider myself a Firefox enthusiast, but there is one other major thing I'm concerned about with Chromium, and that's the Chrome Web Store's massive malware problem. Practically every month there's some story about a bunch of malware being found on the store. Even accounting for the smaller userbase Firefox-based browsers have, it's incredibly rare to see such stories about AMO. When they do come out, Mozilla tends to lay down the banhammer faster than Google does. CWS also had a pretty big problem with survey scams in the past, though I'm not sure about now. And if you look through AMO, one major difference you will notice is a distinct lack of all those sketchy search hijacking new tab extensions that seem to pop up on CWS constantly. Simply put, it appears Google's review process for extensions on CWS is practically non-existent, while Mozilla's is much more stringent. ~Cherri
I really like Vivaldi for its tab tiling. Super useful.
