Chrome is a proprietary browser developed by Google, whereas Chromium is an open-source project maintained by the Chromium Project

I could not agree more.
Some websites lack some of their functions on Firefox. So I use Epiphany for them. When one website recommended using Chrome, I laughed and asked them why they were recommending malware/spyware to someone who uses a firewalled Linux system with a firewalled Firefox!
Also with Firefox you can download from YouTube.
Alternatively, with web browsers such as Lynx, newspaper paywalls can be bypassed.

Edge has the same engine as Chrome and is following exactly the same path.
Opera has claimed they'd keep V2, as did Brave.

There are plenty other free and open choices.

Stick with Firefox, Brave, Edge or even Opera.
