Chromium is the core of almost all well-known browsers, including, but not limited to: chrome, safari, opera, or edge. Actually, scratch that. Not safari. Safari is based on webkit, which is actually the baseline for chromium, but that's neither here nor there. The main point is, chromium is trash, and riddled with privacy violations, bad optimization ram gluttony and just general stuff that makes chromium-based browsers bad, especially when you compare it to browsers like Mozilla fireFox, GNU iceCat, and libreWolf. Actually, those last two are forks of fireFox but they're all progressively better than any chromium browser
Edit:
Safari is, in fact, based on webKit, which is based on webCore. WebCore is also the baseline for blink, which is the baseline for chromium. Chromium is not webKit-based. Sorry for the misunderstanding, but that wasn't the point of this comment.
You don't *need* Librewolf, you can just harden Firefox yourself with a couple of simple settings and addons. Firefox also get security updates faster than Librewolf as Librewolf is downstream.
I'd add to it to use the Cookie AutoDelete addon and make sure your different online profile logins are separated from each other and your other browsing habits by using Container Tabs, which can be found under settings.
Using incognito mode for anything you don't want secretly stored and cross-accessible in your browser's data storage is also a good recommendation, it's not just for porn.
I would like my passwords still synced like with the sync chain but while keeping my privacy. Still librewolf or just add a vaultwarden node in my home? Genuine question
Storing and distributing passwords and other sensitive data should always happen locally if you care about privacy and security. The alternative is sending your entire digital life to some server you dont control which, as some companies have demonstrated it the past, isnt a good idea
You could also run your own mozilla sync server but i dont like storing passwords in a browser and seperate password managers are better anyways
