Here are some of the advantages and disadvantages of Chromium-based browsers:
Excess:
- High compatibility with various websites, because it uses the same Blink rendering engine as Google Chrome.
- Easy customization with the various extensions and themes available in the Chrome Web Store.
- Seamless synchronization with your Google account and other Google services, such as Gmail, Google Drive, Google Photos, and more.
- Guaranteed security with safe browsing, malware blocking, and HTTPS encryption.
- Fast and stable performance, because it uses multi-process technology that separates each tab, extension, and plugin into different processes.
Deficiency:
- High RAM consumption, since each process requires a separate memory.
- Privacy is less maintained, because Chromium-based browsers send user data to Google's servers for several features, such as search prediction, auto-fill, and others.
- Dependence on Google, because Chromium-based browsers must follow the policies and updates of Google as the main developer of the Chromium project.
- Low compatibility with some web standards not supported by Blink, such as WebRTC, WebMIDI, and others.
- The variety of features is limited, as Chromium-based browsers tend to emulate features from Google Chrome without much innovation.
