Just use ungoogled. It's decent enough.
Doesnt come with proper fingerprinting protections or flag hardening. I am not saying ungoogled Chromium is bad, just not a proper replacement for hardened chromium browsers like Cromite or Brave. Ungoogled Chromium is a drop in replacement for Chrome, so it does nearly everything possible to stick with defaults (sans any google connections)
True, but it feels more barbones ngl.
On arch based Chromite isn't a problem, but on Debian or other distros yeah it is a problem.
why is it bare bones and it doesnt have the features found in chromite:
Ungoogled chromium focuses more on vanilla chromium without Google components
no built in adblock (useful after google killed manifest v3)
No fingerprint blocking
no privacy features
I thought it stopped development a couple years ago on android.
