Firefox is my main browser, but I occasionally need a Chromium browser for technical reasons. I had been using Brave - note the past tense there. Any suggestions for my new secondary browser?

Ungoogled Chromium flatpak

Secureblue's Trivalent browser looks promising. Currently the only way to install it outside of secureblue is COPR on Fedora, but I'm sure there will soon be packages in the AUR, Gentoo, Nix, etc.

Other good options are Cromite, Thorium and Ungoogled Chromium

I've been using thorium as my secondary browser and it's been very good. That's the one I recommend.

With a similar use case, after messing around with Brave, then Ungoogled Chromium for a few years, I just reinstalled Google Chrome last month. I literally only need it for making sure webdesign stuff I do works okay in Chrome, and for the extremely rare websites I come across that refuses to work in Firefox 🤷 I didn't change any settings or install even an adblocker, to make sure I'm testing as close to the "vanilla" experience as possible. I also don't log into any accounts with it, so I don't really care if Google sees what I do for that 2-3 page visits / month.

Ecosia is not bad and they plant trees whenever you do a search:)

Get yourself a naked chromium from their github. That's what I do. Least amount of bloat this way.
