I already use Firefox for browsing normally, but I have to test on a Chromium based browser too. One soft requirement is that it should be installable with Flatpak on Linux.
The best Chromium browser in terms of compatibility is of course Google Chrome.
The best in terms of privacy is Vivaldi. (and i hate Vivaldi).
Scummy actions?

It’s like every year or so Brave does something new and shittier.
if you use Windows and want to have Chrome, why not just use Edge? It’s just conveniently therr, you need nothing to install.
It works with everything that “needs” chrome.
edit: one comment gave me the idea you use Windows but now I’m not sure in it. if not, then sry, ignore this comment :)
I don’t use Windows much, but Edge is available on Mac and Linux. I’m just not a fan of all the “features” they put in it. I’m looking for more of a clean browser experience, if you get what I mean.
I think you can’t go more clean than Chromium. Pretty sure all browsers based on Chromium has some extra features, since those are the only differences in them. Vivaldi, Brave, Maxthon etc…, the same engine in different car, with different extras.
this is why I usually recommend people to use Edge if they really want Chrome, since on Windows, it’s already there. But yeah, on Linux, I wouldn’t really tell anyone to apt install edge.
I just saw someone on Mastodon saying they replaced Chrome with Vivaldi, so maybe that?
I use Vivaldi because of it’s tab management.
I have it configured to put the tabs in a bar on the right side of the screen. That way you have full tab titles no matter how many you have open.
It’s also got a tiling window manager. So you can select two tabs and tell it to split screen them within the single window of Vivaldi. Or select 3, or 4, or whatever and put them in a grid. All sorts of options.
I’ve got big 4k monitors, so I’ve grouped up some pinned tabs to always be tiled (like my email and calendar)
It’s got lots of other nice tab features and just regular features, but those are the main selling ports for me personally.
