Chromium dances to Google’s tunes. I don’t see any reason to use or support Chromium, especially with things like Manifest V3 coming in the future and disabling extensions like uBlock Origin. A fork of it that makes it very different from Chrome, perhaps. But not Chromium as is or Chrome.

Chrome never disabled uBlock Origin. They are making changes to an API and have been open to feedback to ensure adblockers continue to work. The whole propaganda campaign that Chrome was disabling ad-blockers was practically ran by Mozilla itself. I recall however, shortly after Mozilla forgot to renew their certificate and all my extensions in Firefox got disabled, and it took well over a day for a fix. Meanwhile, uBlock continued to work fine in Chromium.
