Chromium-based and China-related browsers are shady. There are many other browsers around, like UR Browser and Vivaldi.
Google Chrome is total garbage as far as privacy and RAM usage goes, using Firefox means supporting China, Brave is Chromium-based but I dislike the ideas behind it. I'm thinking of trying Ungoogled Chromium.
