I main Firefox but, want a Chromium browser for Android/Windows that I can use occasionally.

What are your preferred choices?

Edit: okay I tested out a lot of your suggestions and found Vivaldi to by my favourite so far :) thanks y’all

Honest question: What for? I have never encountered a site that was truly broken on Firefox.

If you have a very low end PC, Youtube works far better on Chrome then Firefox.

Sure wish I could say the same. It doesn’t happen that often, but for example the last time was just a day or two ago.

One example is Voyager for Lemmy. Runs better using Brave than Firefox as a PWA

Some addons do not work on my Firefox after some updates. Had to switch to Chromium sadly. Around 2 years I switched back to Firefox but I think this time I just stay at Chromium. Seems to be more stable and quicker…

Vivaldi is awesome on Windows/Linux and peerless on Android.

Not really a factor but rather a fun fact - I recently discovered they have a Mastodon instance, which can be of interest to lemmies.

Vivaldi has a special place in my heart since it’s made by the original Opera people.

Vivaldi has a bunch of stuff I like - tab stacking, tiling, a functional sidebar that is actually useful, and full-on UI customization.

I like Vivaldi a lot. It’s kinda where Opera went after Opera went to shit lol.

I actually tried out Vivaldi for about a month before I went back to Firefox but I like it as well. I think it’s the best chromium based browser out there.

Yeah same. Well actually I’m using Firefox on desktop and Vivaldi on my phone (Android), since I love having desktop style tabs on mobile. The trend of having to press a button to open a tab browser really annoys me and although Firefox sort of addressed that with tab groups now, I think Vivaldi’s implementation is nicer.

If I have to use a chromium based browser, I go vivaldi. The closed source parts are annoying, but it’s still better than the other options for my preferences.

“Closed source parts” Pal it’s only the UI that is closed-source. If that still triggers a problem I don’t even know what to say.
