I've been using Helium as my Chromium browser of choice (used to use Brave) for a while now. Of course, I still use Mullvad Browser (FF based) as my daily driver, but Helium has been great for anything I need Chromium for. I know Firefox good Chromium bad, but if you ever need Chromium, this seems like the least of all evils.
When... when would I ever need Chromium? |

Some websites don't work properly on Firefox. That or testing websites you're developing on Chromium |

You've got that backwards bub. Firefox is the competition. Chrome has like 65% of the market share. Chrome is the browser to compete against, not Firefox.
Even if Chrome is the dominant Browser it is still competition, no? |

Answer me this, what chromium browser today is good??
I don't use Chromium browsers because they're at the verge of becoming a monopoly, it's important to use alternatives for the foreseeable future to sustain what's left of diversity. It depends on your point of view, of the ones I've seen I'd guess Vivaldi has the best user features but it's closed source so there's double reason to not use it. It's what I'd use if I didn't care about any of this. But if you want my genuine browser recommendation from a Privacy perspective (since this is the privacy community) I suggest Mullvad Browser, it's Firefox based and has strong anti-fingerprinting and privacy defaults - it does break some sites though and is missing some QoL features but that's the price you pay. |

yeah, "competition", firefox sends data to google and google pays firefox for google search to be main search in the browser out of the box
I'll take Missing the Point for 100, Alex. |

I deleted my comment fir a reason 🤨 I misread the post and thought that the OP was saying that it is not Chromium based. Also, really? Brave is the best ever?
Comment deletion doesn't always federate straight away, I can still see it. |

Yeah different perspective, i don't see any need in using alternatives to chromium tho, firefox works with google, so this fight with the monopolist is just ridiculous for me. |

I would say don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good, if you have a problem with Mozilla as an organisation it doesn't negate the valid concerns about the monopoly, it would effectively hand control of web standards over to Google defeating the entire ethos of the open web. The Firefox browser engine is independent even if you don't believe the organisation behind it is, that can be verified because of open source, there's no need to be defeatist yet. |

Maybe, but i still doesn't like firefox that much.. Firefox has a bug where my vpn extension can't connect after relaunching the browser, and it's like every vpn i used, they don't fix it |

So it’s not technically Chromium anymore? It’s a fork of Chromium? It's not a fork, IMO. It's just a set of patches to upstream Chromium.
TL;DR: It's a soft fork of Ungoogled Chromium which is a soft fork of Chromium. |
