My main browser is Librewolf but I keep a chromium browser just in case. Previously used brave but their flatpak is shit. Ungoogled chromium seems ok but it looks like they don’t change much from upstream chromium. Any good chromium browsers which harden their browsers like librewolf does for more privacy?

Please stop recommending proprietary software

no, do not mistake yourself. they are not proprietary blobs. the whole browser is proprietary. they release a tarball with the chromium code + some changes. but the whole UI which are the main changes are proprietary (after all, like any Chromium browser, it’s mostly a re-skinned Chromium, they don’t make any changes to the engine).
It’s a proprietary browser. They just release a bunch of code for marketing purposes. Don’t believe me? Try compiling it, and tell me if what you get is Vivaldi minus some blobs.

“Note that, of the three layers above, only the UI layer is closed-source. Roughly 92% of the browser’s code is open source coming from Chromium, 3% is open source coming from us, which leaves only 5% for our UI closed-source code.”
Straight from the horses mouth. So 92% of it is the same as every other chromium browser. 3% is their oss code and 5% is closed source. That 5% more than actual open source browsers.
Which means the final product is closed source.

Excuse me? I switched to Manjaro with Xfce about 3 months ago, and if I wasn’t high at the time and remember everything correctly, the default web browser was simply absent. Which is an excellent choice, in my opinion.
