Hi guys! Today I would want to know your opinion about this: is it better using Chrome or Chrome-based browsers (like Chromium, SRWare Iron, etc.)

Consider that Chrome patches vulnerabilities and flaws very very faster (generally it is more safe), but Chrome-based browsers are better in terms of privacy.

Personally I prefer Chrome, what about you?

I use Chromium stable version (by Woolyss)
it doesn't have chrome's bloats like software_reporter_tool.exe, crash report, autoupdate services,...
obviously, it's smoother

it always receives updates within a few hours or maximum 1.5 day after goofle chrome
But does it notify you about updates available, since you have to download it manually always?

Tried to install it and Smartscreen block the execution.I assume it's a FP.
