Cons
Con Few independent devs fighting the good fight
Although their work is to be fully commended, it can not be ignored that the devs of ungoogled Chromium are doing a massive task, and TBH waste their time while doing it. They're up against mega corp Google, reversing all the questionable stuff Google puts in Chrome to make them money. So David and Goliath, or a few devs in their spare time against "CyberDyne" if you will. So continuity might be an issue with ungoogled Chromium. Will it be up-to-date? Will it survive to see another day? Will the devs loose interest? The answer will most likely depend on your (previous) experience and scepticism.
Con Sometimes outdated

Default home page is telementery, and most websites are enabled by google.

As of today, many sites, like login.iready.com , might mislabel the browser as chrome.
Con Uses blink V8 turbo
It a old blink fork that is made up by nicwow.
Con Chrome clone
Ungoogled Chromium is a clone of Chrome, and since clone browsers are behind in updates giving a huge security risk, browsers like Tuga browser and Ungoogled Chromium should be avoided.

Too much stuff.
