Should I use chromium based browsers or firefox?
Chromium has better features, but with google announcing its plan to 'drm the internet' I 'm not sure if it'd be a good idea.

Personally, i'd day neither. Mozilla is on Google's payroll, so if you're trying to battle Google's monopoly, it won't matter if you pick Firefox or Chrome (or any forks or derivatives)
If you need to pick, i would say Firefox, and Librewolf if you want a browser which is more privacy friendly and has saner defaults.
If you want to battle the monopoly, you should pick a browser that's not based on Gecko, Blink or Chromium. Something like Ladybird, BadWolf, LuaKit or Lynx if you're into that
Mozilla gets Google's money only because Google wants to avoid antitrust charges, so they have to help keep Mozilla alive as competition. It doesn't mean Mozilla is in Google's pocket or has any strings attached at all.
How isn't Mozilla in Google's pocket, if the only reason they're still around is because of Google funding them?
They could switch to Bing any time
