If I were you and needed to use a chromium based browser, I would go for brave with maximum privacy settings turned on and all the Crypto shit and brave "features" turned off. Ungoogled chromium is a good project but its not as refined as Brave is. See here: https://privacytests.org/
If I were you I'd go for Librewolf or Mullvad browser if you dont need Chromium. The reason people say this is because Google has a sort of monopoly on the browser space right now as Chromium takes up Almost 80% of the marketshare, meaning that Google will ultimately get to decide what features live, and what features die. If Chromium market share was down at 40% or so, it wouldnt matter if you used Brave or not, but thats the reality we live in.
Don't use Brave. Brave is virtually a spyware, just less invasive compared to Chrome: https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/brave
Well. I wasn't "Brave" enough to use it, so yea.
