Google Chromium, sans integration with Google, and sans updates. Thanks but no thanks.
Safety not guaranteed. Just how I like my browser.
You could always switch to Firefox and use something like fastmail or protonmail. Did that a year ago, and actually it works better on mobile imo
protonmail sells your email for profit. I would better recommend fastmail which charges you, but it is still in unsafe legal regulation. You are not safe from the "lawful" dragnet neither.

Coincidentally I had found out this one today and compiled it myself after a frustrating experience with `brew install chromium` (videos wouldn't play; inputs would blink). I guess this has more flags set up by default, and it makes it easier to target a stable commit to compile against. Also as a word of caution, don't use ungoogled-chromium binaries - they never are fully official/confirmed/reproducible. Running op…

Binaries which are unofficial to even ungoogled-chromium itself surpass my threshold of trust.
But yes, one could take a further step and extract the interesting bits from this project and apply them to the official Chromium trunk.

I don't think that's the best use of everyone's time or energy. Not to mention, it may be more error prone, or even insecure depending on what your base system is like. And you'll have to track updates. It seems like chromium is problematic to build in general. Debian hasn't marked it as reproducible. It is also not clear if it is possible to build it for Android using a Foss stack. Various efforts to include chromium or derivatives in Fdroid have failed.
EDIT: Lol, Google employees swarming HN on a Sunday. I guess people are getting a little nervous that a mass exodus from Chrome might be beginning.
Hey look ma, an unsubstantive complaint about downvotes! Can't wait for my account to be penalized further.
Not only are there other browsers like Firefox and Safari, but there are other Chromium-based browsers like Vivaldi and Opera.
I would have liked to read about some expected use-cases in the readme.
