There's Chromium Inox[0] which is just a patchset on top of the Chromium build to remove much of the mothership home-calling. Inox seems to be much closer to Chromium than many of the other Chrome-privacy spinoffs. Contrary to popular belief, Chromium still has a lot of Google in it. I always feel like artificially patching a project that doesn't care about your concerns natively to be plugging holes in a sponge boat, but I realize sometimes you need to use that boat because reasons. I installed it from the AUR and it seems to work pretty well for the testing I do in it anyway. I don't daily driver it or Chrome. [0] https://github.com/gcarq/inox-patchset
In Google will use Chrome browsing data for ad tailoring
