Pros / Cons
  • Chromium is the foundation of open source browsers, it's lightweight and fast, respects privacy and security, and allows you to customize your interface with a little coding.
  • From a development perspective it is very difficult to find experienced local devs.

  • They have their gaming profile or start page, and it's amazing, in a way I commonly see it as the "sniper rifle version" of browsers, fast and secure, good accuracy, and the customization layer is one of it's strongest suits.
  • However, if I had to point out some, the VPN is more of a proxy with limited locations, and the browser may lack the extensive extension library found in Chrome.
