Really? I use Chromium and feel nothing of the sort. I don't get any notifications asking me to "Try the new Chrome!" when I upgrade my OS, and I don't get my links hijacked when I try opening arbitrary files. It doesn't have a weird crypto scheme funding it, there's no weird virtue-signally marketing team ruining things with every update... Chrome is one of the few browsers that isn't pushing that stuff on you, at least when you remove the Google bits.
