I've been using Helium as my Chromium browser of choice (used to use Brave) for a while now. Of course, I still use Mullvad Browser (FF based) as my daily driver, but Helium has been great for anything I need Chromium for. I know Firefox good Chromium bad, but if you ever need Chromium, this seems like the least of all evils.
When... when would I ever need Chromium?
Some websites don't work properly on Firefox. That or testing websites you're developing on Chromium
