… Looks like it’s time to switch browsers again. Anyone got any suggestions? Preferably a Chromium-based privacy-focused browser without any crypto-related bells and whistles. And it has to be able to sync between Android and desktop.
Including passwords? Because it’d be a pain to have to keep Brave around just because it’s where I stored my passwords. And the last time I switched browsers (from Chrome to Brave years ago), there was an issue where all my imported passwords were blank. The solution was to export/ import them using the tool in Chromium’s password settings page, which I assume Firefox doesn’t have.
I’d recommend just storing passwords separately from your browser. Bitwarden is such an awesome tool and the free version takes care of everything most people would need. You can even self-host it!
If you are looking for the most absolute comfort-zone, firefox is not ideal, but it can import bookmarks, passwords and history from any browser.
to sync, just create a firefox account and log into it on each device.
Xbrowsersync extension will make it easy to sync bookmarks across multiple browsers on multiple platforms. It’s open source and you can self host it if you want. This for me makes it easy to combine Firefox with brave and similar. Only Vivaldi doesn’t support it.
Hope this makes your browser switching easier and cross platform choices simpler.

Just use Firefox? Available on desktop and Android.
It even has adblock extensions on Android!
I ocassionaly use mull on android, it will be my main browser if it isn’t so fucking slow.
Firefox is as fast Chrome these days.
The suggestion is correct but OP said they want a chromium based option for some reason
Why the hell are you insisting on chromium? It’s such a bad idea to throw all our eggs in one basket.
I occasionally use Brave when I need to cast something to my shield. Is this possible with firefox?
Most of the time I use Firefox
In my case I prefer the chromium design over firefox
Mainly to make it easier to import my user data (including passwords and such) and extension data.
Firefox can import from Chrome profile.

I’ve been using Vivaldi for a while That’s run by a team of ex Opera Browser engineers.
Vivaldi! It’s got everything you just described without the crypto bro nonsense.
Check out Vivaldi.
I’ve been using waterfox.
