Chromium has better features, but with google announcing its plan to 'drm the internet' I 'm not sure if it'd be a good idea.

Also, I forgot to mention this, but Google didn't really support WEI yet. It's all from two engineers' private opinions, though it's also strange that they haven't made an official statement yet.

Even just the fact that Google could force something like WEI on to everyone should be a wake-up call though.

I use Firefox on high privacy settings but that breaks some sites so, when necessary, I use Iron. Iron is a less spy-y version of Chrome which has all the same apps (and a handful of its own).

If Iron is built on Chromium, which its website says that it is, it will be affected by Google's upcoming changes.

I go for firefox. If a particular site is broken in there I open edge just for that task and I'm done with it
