It seems that all the newer Debian-derived distributions are using the snap version of Chromium. I've read that the latest Mint has snapd locked out and Chromium unavailable unless the user manually removes the block.

I'm suspicious of anything coming from Google but at least Chromium is open-source so in theory what's in it is known, versus Chrome which might have anything hidden inside.
