My main browser is Librewolf but I keep a chromium browser just in case. Previously used brave but their flatpak is shit. Ungoogled chromium seems ok but it looks like they don’t change much from upstream chromium. Any good chromium browsers which harden their browsers like librewolf does for more privacy?

no, do not mistake yourself. they are not proprietary blobs. the whole browser is proprietary. they release a tarball with the chromium code + some changes. but the whole UI which are the main changes are proprietary (after all, like any Chromium browser, it’s mostly a re-skinned Chromium, they don’t make any changes to the engine).

It’s a proprietary browser. They just release a bunch of code for marketing purposes. Don’t believe me? Try compiling it, and tell me if what you get is Vivaldi minus some blobs.
