Yes chromium is 100% just as bad

[–] Ubermeisters@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (7 children)

Up to date chromium is 100% just as bad. Forked and selectively maintained version (like brave) aren't 100% just as bad, but varying degrees well below up to maybe even slightly above this hypothetical 100% marker. Not advocating for Brave (I don't personally use it), but the way they update is my main point here.

Not all of chromium's constituent components are required for a functional browser. At the end of the day, Firefox is just easier to trust and better supported than any of the chromium forks, personal opinion.

Brave is bad for its own reasons, like the cryptocurrency scam built into it.

Okay, but if you just ignore/disable that part of it?
