What browser would you suggest instead? I feel a bit cornered, especially now that literally every alternative is based on chromium.
The least resource-intensive way to provide attack-resistance near the level provided by Google's Chrome team would probably be to notify the user when a vulnerability is disclosed so that the user can either switch to Chrome or restrict their browsing to safe sites till the binary provider can get a security update out.
I know of no one doing that or providing timely security updates however except Google, possibly Opera, possibly Brave and probably some day soon Microsoft.

Do you block ads without the publisher's consent? If so, you are in a much more morally precarious situation.
I mean no offense by this but I consider myself a privacy wonk and that website is a bit too tin foil hat even for me.
I think we're in a bad way as far as choices go for browsers these days, but Firefox seems like the best of a bad situation to me. If people are still concerned, they should take a look at the changes made to Firefox for the Tor browser.
It's a honest question. I understand you'd say that about Chrome, but I thought that Chromium being open source it isn't exactly in the same bag.
I've also started to make use of text browsers. Links and Links2 are two that I use. Links2 is a nice halfway option as it will support images too.
I find them great for websites where I want to read info, but the interface is ironically designed to make that harder than it should be. News sites are a perfect example. Text browsers turn them from bloated billboards back into a readable format.
Edit: I know it's chromium-based, but still wondering!
