That is interesting never seen it before but do you compile this yourself? I see you can even enable or keep most of features disabled.
You can get the binaries from the link below. But I think you can compile it in Visual Studio.

One last question are you getting updates automatically or you have to reinstall?
You have to manually install updates. So you will need to completely uninstalling Chromium if there is an update.

Thank you for this nice review.
From a webdeveloper perspective it is really nice to see that the chromium engine becomes the standard for browsers. Handling compatibility issues, mostly related to (older) IEs, can be quiet cumbersome.
I personally use Firefox as my daily driver as I try not to use services from big data-collecting companies. But some modern webapps require Chrome to use them. In this instance I also recently discovered ungoogled chrome, which is the best chromium project yet imo.

You welcome mate, I actually didn't know about ungoogled one until @Drako mentioned it and personally I'm using Firefox for most of things. migrating from Chrome to Edge was also a good choice for me to reduce google chrome ram usage on my computer.
One question tho, Are you using Firefox developer edition?

For randomly browsing the web I use the Tor version of FireFox and for specific services (like Netflix, Twitch, etc...) I'm indeed using FireFox Nightly

I use It very often only on one particular system, and I have no complaints whatsoever.
