Still too much Google snooping in Chromium. You're better off getting Ungoogled Chromium instead. It requires a plugin to use the Google Chrome App Store, but well worth it if you value your privacy and sanity.
For anyone still on a pre10.15 MacOS (10.7 to 10.14): after a few years using Brave, I've switched to Chromium-legacy by blueboxd, works perfectly. Use the builds numbered like 119.0.6045.105.1 (tagged "stable"), not the ones like 1211971 (Canary builds). I haven't met any issue in two months use.
Is it unfair to ask that future versions be zipped in a format that doesn't require buying a commercial product or run an emulator to unpack? I'm not a developer, so I'm not up on the intricacies of file archiving, but if the tool currently being used isn't compatible with standard Mac tools...
