This is sad. I have been wanting a everything from a Chromium based browser that this appears to have on the box.

I can't install this on my work computer, which is where I need to solve the M$ Teams in Chrome/Chromium making my laptop sound like a 747 while slowing to a snail's pace.

Edit: To be 100% clear, my issue is with unknowingly one day the author could accept some NSFW content into the project, and it unknowingly make its way to my corporate issued laptop through an auto-update. The guy opened the door to this type of risk when the content was put there originally. I'm all for easter eggs, but when it's NSFW content inside a thing that people use for work, nope.

have you tried librewolf recently? I've been using it for 3-4 months just to get off chrome based stuff and I have been pretty impressed. It mostly works better than chrome and at least as well as brave for all the stuff I have thrown at it (I like the tabs better, I really like the container tabs option so I can stuff the spyware.. err social media in a very isolated framework), I really like that all the extensions I was using on chrome/brave work in librewolf or have better options. My only annoyance so far is bitwarden behaves weirdly in private windows and that's very minor.
I use FF as my daily for work. Chrome is simply there for Teams. Teams doesn't work so well in FF. I can't imagine Librewolf is any better than FF as far as Teams though.

I use FF containers for the tab isolation you're describing. It works very well for managing multiple AWS accounts at once.

I suppose you can just fork it and rid yourself of any lewd or unsavory or otherwise, uh, repulsive to your person content?
