Depends on what you mean by "private". I would not trust it much, but it's not a bad Chromium based browser when you need one. Use something like LibreWolf for much more privacy out of the box.

For the best privacy when you do need a Chromium-based browser, the ungoogled-chromium flatpak is an excellent choice.

I vaguely remember some issues with extensions in ungoogled chromium. Maybe I should give it another shot.
