I main Firefox but, want a Chromium browser for Android/Windows that I can use occasionally.
What are your preferred choices?
Edit: okay I tested out a lot of your suggestions and found Vivaldi to by my favourite so far :) thanks y’all
Honest question: What for? I have never encountered a site that was truly broken on Firefox.
They exist first two the come to mind.
If you have a very low end PC, Youtube works far better on Chrome then Firefox.
One example is Voyager for Lemmy. Runs better using Brave than Firefox as a PWA

Some addons do not work on my Firefox after some updates. Had to switch to Chromium sadly. Around 2 years I switched back to Firefox but I think this time I just stay at Chromium. Seems to be more stable and quicker…
im using ungoogled chromium as a backup browser
I like Vivaldi a lot. It’s kinda where Opera went after Opera went to shit lol.
If I have to use a chromium based browser, I go vivaldi. The closed source parts are annoying, but it’s still better than the other options for my preferences.
Brave is the best. For a simple browser use ungoogled chromium.
This, only correct answer, and the only correct source to make your decision off of. Any other opinions being tossed around are mostly speculation by people who probably don’t actually know that much about tracker prevention.
Chromium or Brave are going to be good options. I really dig Vanadium on mobile as my backup to Mull, but there’s not a desktop option as far as I know.
Ungoogled Chromium and Vivaldi are my favorites

I use Firefox on Android primarily but I occasionally want a Chromium alternative
Brave, period.
chromium, or maybe brave on old phones
If you want something a little different, try arc it doesn’t behave like pretty much any browser I’ve used but it’s certainly a unique take on it
What does arc do different? It’s been very hyped up but I don’t see what it does that vivaldi already does not
It is very different:
- Tabs are always vertical which is better for todays ultrawide monitors
- You have the ability to pin tabs to the sidebar which means that whenever you’re on a particular site (not page!) they’re stored in the same place
- Other tabs are ephemeral, they’re open for at most the 24 hours from when you use them, then they get cleaned away
- There are separate workspaces; like swappable sidebars that you can use to - for example - keep work and personal tabs separate
- The vast majority of commands (going to a tab, getting to settings plus loads more) are access via a Stoplight like global search control
- You can “boost” a particular site and change its style sheet to be different colours - this can be handy if you’re a developer and need to be extra careful when working in a production environment.
That’s just the stuff off the top of my head, there is probably more.
I’m not sure what you mean by “boosting” a site, but vivaldi does have everything besides pinning sites.
So I guess arc is a nice browser but not particularly new.
Vivaldi is awesome on Windows/Linux and peerless on Android.
Not really a factor but rather a fun fact - I recently discovered they have a Mastodon instance, which can be of interest to lemmies.
My go-to daily driver on my Pixel 7 is the Kiwi Browser, but I use Mull for variety sometimes.
For a chromium based browser I would pick brave, especially on Android I find that brave works very well.
Brave for Chromium and Librewolf for Mozilla.
