Suggestions on the main improvements

Except it lags way behind other major Chromium variants and Firefox, which poses security risks for uses other than general web surfing.

Thanks. Ran into an issue when I was logging into google and youtube it kept kicking me out and went with Chromium latest builds. Will be updating my custom ISOs with chromium build mini installers.
I have issue with Bookmark tags coming from firefox on my linux machine. It has 15+ years of tagged bookmarks. At first, I lost all of them. I had a copy of bookmarks json and html. Once bookmark tagging extension that works with chrome that has firefox like management I can drop Firefox. Seeing better battery life of 4hrs even on my 13 yr laptop instead of 2 hrs.

Updated my new PC to Win 11 24H2 July and updated older machines with Win 10 to build 6159 Preview. Removed BD Traffic Light and replaced with Osprey for lighter resources and faster page load. Tested Osprey on 15 y.o Linux machine and it was super quick and blocked malware ridden sites.
