My main browser is Librewolf but I keep a chromium browser just in case. Previously used brave but their flatpak is shit. Ungoogled chromium seems ok but it looks like they don’t change much from upstream chromium. Any good chromium browsers which harden their browsers like librewolf does for more privacy?

    “Note that, of the three layers above, only the UI layer is closed-source. Roughly 92% of the browser’s code is open source coming from Chromium, 3% is open source coming from us, which leaves only 5% for our UI closed-source code.”

    Straight from the horses mouth. So 92% of it is the same as every other chromium browser. 3% is their oss code and 5% is closed source. That 5% more than actual open source browsers.

    Which means the final product is closed source.

      Okey, whatever, let it be closed source lol. BTW Vivaldi was set as default in Manjaro Linux, with UI changed, that is a work between both Vivaldi and Manjaro. I really doubt they would use proprietary software lol. That 8% (100-92) is bloatware they did not used at all? Once again their 5%? UI is just not under FOSS license, they do not allow modifying it without permussion. But if you like to think other way… Yeah OK, why not.
