What the heck is Chromium? (Other than a heavy metal.)

Chromium is the API back end from Google (Chrome browser) that newer web browsers like MS Edge and Brave are based on. The idea is that most people liked the Google Chrome browser, so instead of keeping on re-inventing the wheel every time HTML changes or people's expectations change on how objects are laid out on the page, just let the Google Chrome back-end figure all that out in your Edge browser or Brave browser.
Ostensibly it's not supposed to be spying on you like Google Chrome does. Ostensibly.

Chromium is an open source browser. Google skins it, adds their surveillance and spyware and calls it “Chrome”. There are other versions of chromium including MS Edge, Vivaldi, Brave, Opera. Chromium is basically Chrome without the google add ons. It doesn’t sent all your personal information back to the google collective to control you.
