I know Firefox is the popular option here, but do we have any serious non-google managed Chromium based browser options out there that don't have some weird gimmick?
Vivaldi
+1 for Vivaldi. If you remember old, Presto-era Opera you'll feel right at home with it. I know there are some people who moved from Firefox to it, too.
Only thing is, their integrated adblocker doesn't support cosmetic filtering right now, but it's in the works.
Vivaldi adblocker is weak and ublock origin is needed
Another for Vivaldi. Technically it has a "gimmick" but that gimmick is having a very customizable UI. If you don't want that, just don't use it.
You will need to install ublock though, since its onboard adblock isn't great.
the thing that I like from Vivaldi is the design is quite classic and consistent between Windows/SteamOS/Ubuntu.
Brave leads chrome-based browsers in terms of privacy and security, as long as you don't mind its endless controversies.
