Chromium, because I'm used to Google Chrome and I like Google to keep track of everything for me. I've switched between Chrome and Chromium a few times, but I've found that Chromium works just a bit better on my system (Ubuntu 17.04).

I've recently moved back to Chromium after giving way too many other browsers a go, because it just works. I'm not at all into the idea of being a part of Google's ecosystem, but it seems to work more smoothly with my extensions (uMatrix, Privacy Badger, HTTPS Everywhere, etc) than Firefox.

Mostly just want to see what else is out there.

So you don't care about your privacy?

Certainly the first I've heard of anyone using Chromium while still connecting it to all of Google's services. I always assumed people used it to get away from that.
