does this happen on Linux too?

i have to keep chrome around for sites that breaks with ff / ublock, but i only open it when i need it.

I have a chromium install lying around for that. Bizarrely the online conferencing tool my bank uses has issues with Firefox despite advertising Firefox support which is pretty much the only thing I need the Chromium browser for

Use brave

Rather, use un-googled chromium. Brave is kind of bloated with all of the extra "features" they have.

Where can I download it from ? Can you please share the link for windows? . Ungoogled chromium for android is not maintained anymore.

Windows links are here. As for android, you're right, it is not maintained anymore; the most similar still-maintained browser I could find is Cromite, but I've never used it before so I can't comment on it.

Chromite is quite good its the successor of bromite and has increased adblock functionality I've used it for a little bit and it is quite nice.
