That Chromium backbone is exactly why. Firefox or forks of it are preferred. Other browsers using different engines can also be recommended, but I only know of some WIP projects right now. Also, Vivaldi is proprietary, not open source.

Oh wait it’s Chromium?! I have things that need that to work, so even tho I EXCLUSIVELY use FF forks for browsing on my computer, I have to dip into edge (eww) for those web applets to work. Would Vavldi be a good alternative? Better than… ugh.. BRAVE, anyway?

Yes, Vivaldi is a good chromium browser when someoddball site doesn't work.

You know what works great with FF&Forks; ad-blockers that havn't aren't sellouts.

Perfect, I’ll snag that for the like four hardware things I have that need Chromium for settings, and continue using FF forks for anything real!

Yeah, or just use Ungoogled Chromium, that's about as raw as it gets without any proprietary shit.
