Would you say it's better than Brave? I dislike Brave for Shitcoining, but appreciate the less Google trackers.
For those who have been following my progress on this: I have finally switched my last few computers over to using https://thorium.rocks browser.
It’s not a no-Google browser, but it is a “less-Google” browser, with several privacy settings improved by default, security patches applied, and performance optimizations built in, including some for acceleration on Linux.
I suggest giving it a try if you live in Chromium land, and supporting the dev. It’s a very small contributor base, but updates come fast, so they’re working hard.

Definitely look into the privacy patches he applies to the builds. It still enables Google sync (optional), etc, but I think the cross site cookies, and things like FLOC are removed.
Performance wise, I think thorium thrashes any other browser I’ve used, including brave.
I also use a number of extensions and they all worked a-ok.
