I like Ungoogled Chromium: https://ungoogled-software.github.io/ungoogled-chromium-bina... At least for testing, I use Firefox as my daily driver.

Let me push this again: Chrome, sans Google. My main browser is Firefox, but this will do in the few cases I "need" Chrome. https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium

I also switched years ago and haven't looked back. FF is fast, solid. However, I too keep Chromium for development. But I use the Ungoogled version (I always plug it, but have no stakes in it): https://github.com/Elosto
