Only thing I wish it had is JXL support hacked in like Thorium.
Sometimes I shop on Cromite (specifically for its uber hardcore anti fingerprinting), or switch to Firefox for a bit, but I’ve found myself mostly using Helium.

We (web developers) are, on average, incompetent. Many of our websites only work in Chromium based browsers, due to aforementioned incompetence.

in reply to Georgvwt • • •I don't use Chromium browsers because they're at the verge of becoming a monopoly, it's important to use alternatives for the foreseeable future to sustain what's left of diversity.
It depends on your point of view, of the ones I've seen I'd guess Vivaldi has the best user features but it's closed source so there's double reason to not use it. It's what I'd use if I didn't care about any of this. But if you want my genuine browser recommendation from a Privacy perspective (since this is the privacy community) I suggest Mullvad Browser, it's Firefox based and has strong anti-fingerprinting and privacy defaults - it does break some sites though and is missing some QoL features but that's the price you pay.
