I have used Chromium, Heck the raspberry pi uses it in it's Raspberry pi OS as it's default browser. As far as I am concerned, Any browser that uses the Chromium code base might as well be a 3 letter agency honeypot. The only time that I wouldn't be so concerned would be if only the render engine is used (blink?) and everything else is it's own code. Even then I am suspect of anything that google has their hands in. I'd much rather just use Gecko, Goanna, or any other renderer that Google doesn't have a hand in. Heck if I could effectively (key word there) browse and interact with sites like this in a command line, I would. (yes I have tried command line browsers... they don't interact very well)
I understand how open source works. You can shill Brave all you want, but I still refuse to use it on the grounds of the Chromium code in it. It's too heavily advertised as the "great alternative" and that alone makes me suspicious of it.
