   Chromium is the Google engine.   
      
   The Brave browser - https://brave.com/ - is also Chromium based, but is   
   probably the most secure variant around.  I'm not particularly keen on   
   some of the decisions they made, but I keep it around for the rare cases   
   where Firefox fails me (and I have FF for the cases where Seamonkey   
   slips up).
