If it really has to be a Chromium browser, Vivaldi will do the trick.

And if you REALLY take security seriously, LibreWolf is based on Firefox but without the annoying stuff from Mozilla attached to it.

Vivaldi a privacy respecting browser? It's closed source and barely has any concern on the matter.

Nah, they have a big concern on that matter. Not collecting or selling your data is one of their main selling points lol. Also, while not completely open source, the main changes they do to the chromium base is open for everyone

Not collecting or selling your data is one of their main selling points lol.

And.. how can we trust that claim?

Just use Librewolf. Problem solved. If you want some gimmicky stuff that Vivaldi provides, that's fine. Just know that it's not as private as Librewolf is. It's default privacy measures are subpar at best.

I personally trust Vivaldi because they haven't slipped up once so far. Besides the open source dispute, it's easily the least controversial company.

Closed source browser run by a company? No thanks.

Not a fan of Vivaldi either but it's not closed source. https://vivaldi.com/source/

Though the source code doesn't even get a link on their website so I can see why people think that.

Edit: I was wrong, there's closed source parts (the UI).

I really like Vivaldi for its tab tiling. Super useful.
