There is no privacy on chromium, it phones home to Google a lot and those communications are encrypted so you will never really know what data is being sent but assume Google can link everything you do in Chromium to you.
Users who think they are “ungoogling chromium” are fooling themselves.
All the commercial browser reeleases like Mullvad browser, Brave or duckduckgo browsers are just window dressing.
Firefox or its children really are the only option.

Mullvad Browser sue Firefox as base not Chromium
Specifically speaking it branches off tor browser bundle which itself is modified firefox-esr.
Ungoogled Chromium doesn’t send data to Google servers, if that’s what you are implying it is misinformation.
Also, Chromium is open source - you can very easily know what is being sent. I appreciate privacy awareness, but not baseless fearmongering.
I hate Google and Chromium’s dominance on the browser market as much as the next person, but this is straight up false information.
Chromium itself is open source, it is 100% possible to make forks that remove all Google telemetry, and such forks do exist.
Mullvad is based on Tor Browser.
Correction: Mullvad is based on Firefox, and Tor is also based on Firefox.
Do you have a source for this?
