I've been using Thorium recently with no issues. Before I was using Vivaldi.
Edit, Firefox is my main browser. Thorium is used as an alt for the 2 websites that don't work in Firefox.
Edit 2; seems the developer of Thorium has made some err questionable choices. Not with the browser itself, but a mild furry nsfw easter egg, and a link to some site talking about their beliefs against a common medical procedure performed on baby boys. I have not seen either for myself as they have both been removed as the browser gained a sudden spike in popularity.
Thorium would be good but it probably has too few contributors
And it is also outdated and not privacy optimised (which seems way less documented than with Firefox). Not sure if appimages even have sandbox or if that is broken too.
Highly advise against Chromium, see different comment
