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

    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.

      Vivaldi has a bunch of stuff I like - tab stacking, tiling, a functional sidebar that is actually useful, and full-on UI customization.

    I have Thorium installed for when I occasionally have to use it for frontend webdev. It claims to be a lot faster than the other Chromium alternatives.

    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.

      “Closed source parts” Pal it’s only the UI that is closed-source. If that still triggers a problem I don’t even know what to say.

    If we all stop using firefox, then chromium has a complete monopoly. That’s dangerous with something as important as a web browser. Lets not forget that Chromium is sponsored/maintsined by Google.

      I have no intention of stopping my Firefox use. I just want an occasional Chromium browser

    I use Samsung browser for voyager and the occasional incompatible website. It has strict tracking protection and adblocking too

    My go-to daily driver on my Pixel 7 is the Kiwi Browser, but I use Mull for variety sometimes.

    Brave is hands down the best chromium based browser for privacy. They do a lot under the hood to block trackers and ads. I would do a little more research into ungoogled chromium. Imo it’s better to have a whole community and company backing a browser like Brave rather than a few developers basically patching source code and shipping it.

      The only research I had to do was to simply open Wireshark and then Brave. Did the same with Ungoogled and lets just say Ungoogled actually delivers on their promise while Brave is simply Chrome that calls Brave servers instead of Google.

    For a chromium based browser I would pick brave, especially on Android I find that brave works very well.
