I would stick to librewolf. Supporting Chromium is not good for freedom.
Anyway, ungoogled chromium is probably the best answer. There also is Cromite which supports android and windows

Cromite is the closest thing i can think of to Librewolf. Tons of hardening. but i dont think he ships a Linux version. just android and windows.
I'm currently using thorium as an appimage and it is god enough. But to be honest if you want privacy use Firefox or a fork of it.

I've been using Thorium recently with no issues. Before I was using Vivaldi.
Edit, Firefox is my main browser. Thorium is used as an alt for the 2 websites that don't work in Firefox.
Edit 2; seems the developer of Thorium has made some err questionable choices. Not with the browser itself, but a mild furry nsfw easter egg, and a link to some site talking about their beliefs against a common medical procedure performed on baby boys. I have not seen either for myself as they have both been removed as the browser gained a sudden spike in popularity.
Highly advise against Chromium, see different comment
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Thanks to everyone for replying! I have decided to stick with brave for now since after an update to the flatpak the thing's font is back to readable again.
I use hardened Chrome with a lot of flags/features disabled and some privacy extensions. It's good enough for me.
hardened chrome
lmao.
What's so funny?

Thorium is good for privacy and speed but not security, Vivaldi isn’t that private, ungoogled chromium removes everything google. Brave also has packages available for manual installation if you want to give it another try

I use Vivaldi, I don't know a better Chromium for privacy nor because other features (made in the EU by a employee-owned cooperative, no extern investors, gutted Chromium base (no phones to Google), no tracking, no logging, inbuild ad- and trackerblocker with customizables filterlists, encrypted sync, feed reader, mail client, calendar, reader list, reader view, splitscreen, full customizable UI, command chains, etc......). Apart with your account an own blogging platform, mail service, included an Mastodon account in the Vivaldis own instance, which you can use with your account. https://vivaldi.com
Vivaldi is not private. A good browser? It surely is. But it's not private.
It's also proprietary software, which is unacceptable. And yeah, don't repeat to me their marketing techniques. Yes, they release some partial source code. In practice, that's the same as releasing nothing. Just a marketing trick.
