Blåhaj Lemmy - Choose Your Interface

If you had to pick a chromium variant, which is the least horrible?

I enjoy Vivaldi and Ungoogled Chromium.

I primarily use LibreWolf. Mullvad for scenarios when I need privacy, and Tor + VPN when I need maximum privacy and anonymity.

Personally, if it doesn’t work in Firefox, I just give up.
