> Let's not, it always lags at least one major version behind upstream Chromium (which we already do way too often), which tends to have some not so nice CVEs. IMHO use FF instead if you don't want to deal with Google

Now ugc is practically on par with upstream. 
Regarding security risks: https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.html . TL;DR Firefox is one big hole, even chromium with known 1-day vulnerability without PoC is safer IMHO.
Regarding the fear of google: 
- https://digdeeper.neocities.org/ghost/mozilla.html (tl;dr mozilla is a controlled opposition that does everything the same as google, but pretends to care about privacy)
- https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/firefox.html (about the amount of spyware in firefox)
- https://codeberg.org/shadow/SpywareWatchdog/issues/58 (firefox mitigation guide is deprecated)
For me personally, the lack of ungoogled chromium in the official repositories and distrust of third-party ones is a big headache when using voidlinux right now, I think I'm not the only one.
