Is there any completely open source chromium based web browser that is NOT riddled with google, microsoft, nft/crypto badware but also regularly maintained and audited? Like Firefox but Chromium?
Ungoogled chrome for mac did not have a single release between Feb 2021 and March 2023. Unless I am missing something.

Ladybird, the from-scratch SerenityOS browser, can now display Google Docs
I readily admit that cooking the mozconfig is some holy hell, but they do have real-world examples in the repo; did you experience problems at that stage, or it literally wouldn't compile?
And while I haven't tried Ungoogled-Chromium, for unrelated reasons I helped an OSS project build their Brave-derivative in a container, so that may interest you: https://github.com/imperviousinc/beacon/blob/main/Dockerfile The only reason it's not already GitHub Actions for them is the chromium_src is 38GB and GHA cache is capped at 10G, but while digging up the link to that Dockerfile, I was reminded that there is a GHA for the macos build: https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-mac...

A walkthrough on how to build Chromium from source!
While I haven't personally tried it, and they are incredibly behind the upstream Chromium versions, the ungoogled chromium for macOS repo has a bunch of GitHub Actions workflows and scripts that may also be interesting

Opinions on Safari
My only issue with it is, that you can only get it from certain Github sites, which you have to trust, as the original project only releases the source code, that you are probaly supposed to compile yourself, which I can't and don't do. This also leads to lagging a bit behind the regular updates that other browsers receive, as you have to wait for someone to package and release it. The Mac version of UC can be downloaded here.
- Chrome is my only option…

Brave's AI assistant now integrates with PDFs and Google Drive
Cromite[0] is the best on Android, it's a privacy-oriented open source patchset on top of Chromium.
Cromite has a desktop build, but it's a bit more experimental than the mobile build, so you can use Ungoogled Chromium[1] instead. Ungoogled is also a privacy-oriented open source patchset on top of Chromium. Check the beta flags to enable some more interesting features like getClientRect anti-fingerprinting measures (unfortunately breaks some React-based sites that go into infinite re-render loop).
Both of these browsers selectively include patches from Brave, but they are community-oriented builds so imo more trustworthy than Brave, which continues to package various shady anti-features and always will because it's backed by a for-profit company.
LibreWolf[2] is the nicest Firefox-based one for desktop, I think. It's pretty hardcore, though, I most only use it to visit mainstream social media sites.
I tried a bunch of the Firefox-based ones on mobile and none of them clicked for me. Cromite is just too slick on Android. Put the address bar at the bottom and off you go. Only downside is no online syncing of tabs and bookmarks, but meh. You can save all open tabs to bookmark bar in one hit then export your bookmarks, send the file through whatever E2EE channel you want to your other device and import then reopen them again.

Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome
Using these sort of downstream patch set browsers is rarely a good idea. If it has multiple full-time developers from a respected org dedicated to it, then it can be justifiable (Tor Browser, Brave), but take a look at the gaps in time for these two pages:
https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium/rel...
https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/c/ch...
There's often days you're going without security patches. If you want a browser without Google tracking, Firefox is a much better choice.

Installing Chrome extension from raw source code
While these screenshots use Google Chrome, they will also work on all 'Chromium' based web browsers, like Brave, Vivaldi, ungoogled-chromium, etc. Window's Edge is also compatible, though some the button locations are changed.

Brave is a fork, not a Chromium reskinn
I would highly recommend the Ungoogled Chromium fork instead: https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium
Entirely volunteer maintained, there is no for-profit entity behind it looking to do crypto referrals or ad swapping or anything like that.
