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?
I would stick to librewolf. Supporting Chromium is not good for freedom.
Anyway, ungoogled chromium is probably the best answer. There also is Cromite which supports android and windows
Cromite is the closest thing i can think of to Librewolf. Tons of hardening. but i dont think he ships a Linux version. just android and windows.
I’ve been using Thorium recently with no issues. Before I was using Vivaldi.
Edit, Firefox is my main browser. Thorium is used as an alt for the 2 websites that don’t work in Firefox.
Edit 2; seems the developer of Thorium has made some err questionable choices. Not with the browser itself, but a mild furry nsfw easter egg, and a link to some site talking about their beliefs against a common medical procedure performed on baby boys. I have not seen either for myself as they have both been removed as the browser gained a sudden spike in popularity.
Highly advise against Chromium, see different comment
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
I’m currently using thorium as an appimage and it is god enough. But to be honest if you want privacy use Firefox or a fork of it.
- not sandboxed
- no repo, no updates, always the risk of malware
- not hardened
- outdated version

The point of useing it is that privacy invasive sites like twitch or skribbl.io would still work. Twitch technicality works fine on stock Firefox unless you don’t save your history, how dare you.
Yea I don’t know a better one yet
They will work on ungoogled chromium too though, I guess.
In theory there is even the ability to store a chrome:flags override and use it like a user.js. So you could use upstream chromium and not rely on outdated stuff.
Thanks to everyone for replying! I have decided to stick with brave for now since after an update to the flatpak the thing’s font is back to readable again.
