Thorium is good for privacy and speed but not security, Vivaldi isn’t that private, ungoogled chromium removes everything google. Brave also has packages available for manual installation if you want to give it another try
How is Thorium privacy optimized?
Its version is outdated and it has no focus on Privacy. Also important to see if privacy from Google or from the actual sites you visit i.e. fingerprint prevention.
Brave is better here
The repo shows all the patches. It uses some patches from ungoogled chromium for privacy. It isn’t my recommendation here, I just mentioned it because Brave didn’t work for OP
OP mentioned that the Flatpak is shit, and Browser Flatpaks are not as secure too. Thanks for the Link!
