Iridium is a fine browser - you do have convenience removed, especially with manual updates. If you do not want to tinker and just want it to work, I would say move onward and outward.

No. It's currently 6 Chromium releases behind Chrome's stable channel and missing the 53 security fixes included in those releases.

I would comment that. One of the first things you have to check is how fast they follow chromium updates. Brave for example is fast updating their browser. When i used it, it usually took no more than 2-3 days to update to the last version
