Chromium has better features, but with google announcing its plan to 'drm the internet' I 'm not sure if it'd be a good idea.

Firefox if you take the time to harden it. You can also use librewolf which is hardened OOTB.

I only find Chromium useful for very browser-intensive things like browser games

Can you explain what has to be hardened?

You need to do a lot of stuff like disabling telemetry, installing addons like ublock origin as well as making a few tweaks in about:config just to name a few.
