The confusing CalyxOS-supplied Chromium
Our goal with the Chromium provided in CalyxOS has been to provide a browser with a solid base of privacy and security enhancements vs Chromium (and by extension, vs Chrome) while still allowing most sites and WebView-based apps to function as expected out of the box. We do this by using select changes from Cromite (and prior to that, Bromite). Some of these include the under-the-hood deactivation of intrusive features and analytics, while others provide additional site settings to adjust features like WebGL and WebRTC, features which are sometimes necessary but which can aid in fingerprinting or identification when turned on. We also bring in the legacy ad blocker from Bromite/Cromite to offer some reasonable protection from the worst kinds of ads. You can find and adjust these features in Settings.

Alternative to Samsung Internet - Android browser with bottom back & forward buttons (not hidden)
Bromite via either its site/Fdroid, GitHub or Woolyss site has a bottom bar available in accessibility settings. (The first one has been unmaintained for a while, but has auto updates available if they ever drop. The other two are up to date but must be updated manually.)

Furry_IRL
As for my recommendation... try Bromite it has ad-blocking, is fully open-source and is very privacy focused so much in fact that I'd recommend disabling some of the privacy protections (like allowing WebGL and JavaScript) otherwise some websites won't work. It's also very outdated and if you want to try it consider using some of the test versions they are usually stable enough for daily usage.

Firefox+ublock>brave
You could use ungoogled chromium or iridium browser, browsers less knowledged (they don't need youtubers to be adversited), and works good, plus ungoogled chromium is literally chrome without google, and iridium is brave but without all their crypto bullshit and lies.

Hey Guys Which Browser do you use and mention the distro and Why
Iridium Browser doesn't use much ram and it is the fastest browser I've used by far. They also claim to have some privacy stuff but I can't test that.

Being open-source doesn't mean shit if you don't respect the open-source philosophy
As an honourable mention, Iridium browser. I see this mentioned more in privacy focused subreddits, so I cannot speak for it at all myself, but it can be worth looking into if you're strictly after a chromium based browser.
