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.
There was an article some time ago that taked about Google deliberately making youtube worse for firefox users.
Some online games like Krunker and Yorg3 run better in Chrome
Sure wish I could say the same. It doesn’t happen that often, but for example the last time was just a day or two ago.

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
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 special place in my heart since it’s made by the original Opera people.
Vivaldi has a bunch of stuff I like - tab stacking, tiling, a functional sidebar that is actually useful, and full-on UI customization.
I like Vivaldi a lot. It’s kinda where Opera went after Opera went to shit lol.
Same guy started them both
I actually tried out Vivaldi for about a month before I went back to Firefox but I like it as well. I think it’s the best chromium based browser out there.
Yeah same. Well actually I’m using Firefox on desktop and Vivaldi on my phone (Android), since I love having desktop style tabs on mobile. The trend of having to press a button to open a tab browser really annoys me and although Firefox sort of addressed that with tab groups now, I think Vivaldi’s implementation is nicer.
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.
It’s still annoying.
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.
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
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
For desktop I use Ungoogled Chromium portable as a secondary browser, and DDG browser on Android
Brave for Chromium and Librewolf for Mozilla.
I use Bromite on Android whenever Firefox mobile decides to die
Bromite hasn’t had an update since December last year
Bromite has been abandoned unfortunately, definitely worth thinking about another chromium backup browser for sure.
Cromite is a fork of Bromite.
Oh, well that is good to know. Thanks
As a Vim user, I like qutebrowser. It’s very customizable.
For a chromium based browser I would pick brave, especially on Android I find that brave works very well.
