[Redoomed (Devourer of Documentation)]

@Average_Joe

Are there any downsides to using it compared to other Chromium based browsers?

Yes, dngray already stated them in this thread:

Browser Account isolation (with seperate browsers)

We don’t recommend ungoogled-chromium for a few reasons. binaries being compiled by third parties disabling CRLsets which means that a rogue CA could potentially still issue certificates A review of ungoogled-chromium patches As for seperate browsers, there is no reason why you can’t use separate browser profiles no need to install new software.

Would I be putting myself at more of a security risk by using it instead of other Chromium browsers?

Yes.

These binaries are provided by anyone who are willing to build and submit them. Because these binaries are not necessarily reproducible, authenticity cannot be guaranteed.^[1]

This is very serious for something which deals with sensitive data like banking, or whatever site you visit.
