I use Brave to test whether my websites work on Chromium browsers, but their scummy actions lately make me want to find a new Chromium browser to test with. What's the best Chromium based browser? (lemmy.world)

I already use Firefox for browsing normally, but I have to test on a Chromium based browser too. One soft requirement is that it should be installable with Flatpak on Linux.

I've just been using Edge when Firefox wont open a site. It's installed by default and it's just Chrome under the hood so it works. Plus, after Google's new hostility to ad blocking I refuse to use any Chrome based browser as my default so one is as good as the other to me. They're all just a temporary tool until I go back to using the only real web browser that I can, Mozilla Firefox.

Edge isn’t installed by default on any of the computers I use, and I’m not a huge fan of all the junk they put in it.

Also I just downloaded it on Mac and it’s a .pkg file, so that really sets off alarm bells.

It's Chrome, it'll be loaded with trash no matter what. There's no clean version of garbage that you can install.

100% truth.
