don't forget the absence of easy to install addons! such a delight!

Yeah it takes a few extra steps to get extensions/chrome store stuff like that. Probably not the best option if you’re just trying to slap it on a work computer in 5 mins.

That's where Firefox comes in!

True that’s what I use the vast majority of the time, but the OP specifically needed something chromium based.

What, you don't like to install the Web Store through a separate extension crx download, mess around in the settings, and enable dev mode? Wait til you hear what you have to do to get DRM working (Spotify, Netflix, Hulu, etc). Hint: It's a separate zipped download of Widevine that you have to extract deep in the AppData folder, assuming you're on Windows.
