Cons
Con Android permission location
Today, most browser developers put 2 location permissions: 1) Precise & 2) Approximate, most people search goods & services "by typing name of specific region or place".
i.e: books library in "name of city"
So, is there any need to such permissions which is a privacy concern ?
Con Github users may track you

Github is known for making it open source, and hosting tech pros, open source user, and others. This was made to be better then Chrome.
Con Owned by a advertizing company
The same company which brought startpage.
Con Lag lag lag, freze freze freze
This needs to do something about it.
Con Depent on Google
Since red Chrome (that's what some people call it) is bases off chromium, it is dependent on all of google's dissensions.
Con Just a chrome fork
Like opera and yandex, its a chrome fork.

It might be a copyrighted name of chrome which was pre- installed with many extensions from Chrome.
