My main browser is Librewolf but I keep a chromium browser just in case. Previously used brave but their flatpak is shit. Ungoogled chromium seems ok but it looks like they don't change much from upstream chromium. Any good chromium browsers which harden their browsers like librewolf does for more privacy?

Cool! Brave is best for fingerprinting protection, the pretty much plain Chromiums dont really have that.

Couldn't an extention fix this like canvasfinger or privacy badger?

No the base Browser needs to be hardened. On top of that you can install addons but privacy badger is pretty weak afaik, and canvas is just one vector. There still is UA, Apis, referrer policies, WebGL etc

Yea I can do that. I mean it will take a time but it should be possible. Tbh just don't wanna use brave. www.deviceinfo.me is a hood site for checking how hard you browser i s hardened

Thats most often privacy improvements and not hardening, two different things.

I dont wanna use Chromium, but if I would, I would use Brave.
