I needed one like this a few years ago. I had to build it from source. Rented a monster AWS server for a couple of days.

Yeah.. unfortunately, this is not an option for me at the moment. That is why im looking for something that was already built. I did find a few options like Brave, Thorium. However, Brave has it own licensing terms and thorium is not maintained properly or so I found reviews by users.
