If I have to keep a chromium browser around, in addition to Firefox, I'd rather edge than mainline Chrome.
That's a false dichotomy. There's no shortage of Chromium browsers that are significantly better than both.
Suggestions? Preferably for both Windows and Mac
Arc is weird but pretty good once you get used to it.
DuckDuckGo is good if you want a minimal browser and don’t really care about extensions
Brave is OK if you want a slightly more private version of Chrome
Honestly though, just use Firefox.
Not sure which ones are compatible with Mac. Brave is my choice but there's also Vivaldi and several flavors of Opera.
Which one comes with a VPN you can't not install?
All Mac browsers are just Safari anyway
You might be thinking of iOS browsers? Mac browsers use a variety of engines
Brave seems like a superb option.
Opera seems like a reasonable option, I guess, but I'm not sure if it has the market share to actually be seen and controversial if there was something to be controversial about.
I'm not sure I would. Edge is trash, it keeps shoving the AI bullshit, all the MSN news stuff, ads for cheaper shopping, all in your face when you first start up. While you can turn it off, it gets annoying doing that every time you reinstall or spin up a new VM. Chrome, for all its faults, is a lot less annoying freshly installed.
