So many Chromium browsers, why not use Mozilla Firefox and be unchromed !

Slower, some websites load more properly with chromium browsers.

Not here they don't: No any noticeable differences between Chromium & Mozilla, actually if I don't see it therefore it in real like does not exist, if there was noticeable difference I would change? Perhaps it does make a difference if I had less RAM & slower connection, maybe, I don't know?

I have it even between different chromium browsers; a certain website does not load with Vivaldi, while it loads normally with Chrome, Edge, and Yandex.

Regarding speed, for me, chromium browsers are slightly faster than FF, and even between those, Yandex is fastest, followed by Edge and Chrome, then Brave and Vivaldi; it is just minor differences in speed.

Thorium was hailed as the fastest and greatest web browser when it was first released. What happened next?

Web browsers are complex programs that require more than one person or small teams to manage and maintain. For instance, I was a happy Waterfox user. Although it is merely a modified version of Firefox, so there are no new features to deal with, the developer takes a week to apply security fixes, which is dangerous.

Therefore, the only trustworthy choices if you don't want to use a browser created by large tech companies and allow them to steal your data are Firefox, Brave, and Vivaldi because they have businesses supporting them.

Big name, big tech, Edge, Chrome, Yandex.

Sad, but true.

Vivaldi for me is overly complex & gives so many options & configs I just don't need, Brave too adds options I simply do not need or want which are increasing, and as I reinstalled it last week I was a little dismayed at the options thein - Wolf takes a few mins to setup from scratch is updated quickly & has little telemetry, as I also like ungoggled chromium & gave Helium a try a while ago & again last week. For me it does just about all I want so at present I'm using it - If it fades away or is not updated in line I will move on, for now its a secondary browser - Myself as a person I don't believe in misplaced loyalty as regards any company or product if they don't give me what I want I move on, IMO Helium is pretty good (at least for now!) & an excellent option to Brave & a little like Brave was in the beginning which I used from beta, I still use Brave on iPhone/iPad.

Life is full of choices...

A novel bug I have encountered with Vivaldi; left the browser downloading mp4 file while was fixing breakfast, came back to find out the file vanished, not inside donwload pane, not on the drive, no trace.

I use Brave as my primary, I like Mullvad browser for searches, and Helium as a secondary.

That is interesting, you get 10 profiles, I am wondering if there is a way to get it to switch profiles for each tab you open, then only ever have a max of 10 open at anyone time?
