With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

Okay I’m going to step into it. I’ve been liking Vivaldi recently as a browser. Is that screwed too because it’s based on chromium? Or am I safe for now?
Vivaldi is my favorite browser as well. It's fantastic
Well if you're talking about privacy, then the answer is yes. Vivaldi only collects what pc specs you have or something like that to see how many users day have. Way better than what google chrome does. But I guess yes you are technically supporting the chromium engine monopoly but tbh just use what you like.
Depends what you mean by safe really.
I have no idea about telemetry. Chromium does have black box code though I think?
As I understand it ad blockers could potentially become unusable with chromium.
I'm reading this on Vivaldi right now.
Vivaldi (or Mozart... whatever) is a joke regarding privacy. IMHO it's not as bad as Opera, Chrome, Edge, but still not good enough. For some privacy, you should always use a VPN service + Hardened Firefox / Brave / LibreWolf.
It's fine. People hate on Chromium browsers all the time but ask them why and none of them have any explanation other than "because Google".
Because they're planning to cripple ublock and other adblockers in manifest v3? They also made it so that chromium can't sync with Google accounts anymore. I love vivaldi too and I hope they are able to survive whatever Google is planning.

That's in Chrome. What part of "Chromium is not Chrome" did you not understand?

...that's great!
