Chromium als Linux-Alternative zu Brave
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
Chromium is a solid replacement for Brave if you prioritize speed, modern web compatibility, and extension support. It lacks Brave’s default ad-blocking and anti-fingerprinting, so privacy requires manual setup with extensions and configuration. You won’t get Brave’s built-in rewards system or curated privacy defaults, but on Linux, Chromium runs natively and reliably. It's best for users comfortable tweaking settings and installing blockers separately, rather than those wanting out-of-the-box privacy and ad-free browsing.

Was gleich funktioniert
- Both are based on the Chromium engine, ensuring identical core web compatibility
- Support the same Chrome extensions via the Chrome Web Store
- Offer multi-process architecture with sandboxing and tab isolation
- Provide fast, responsive browsing with hardware acceleration
- Available natively on Linux without compatibility layers
Was anders ist
- Chromium lacks built-in ad and tracker blocking; you must add extensions like uBlock Origin
- No anti-fingerprinting protections by default, unlike Brave’s Shields
- Does not include Brave Rewards or cryptocurrency-based ad compensation
- No built-in Tor private tabs or persistent private browsing modes
- Sync requires manual Google account setup, with no native alternative
Ihre Brave-Dateien öffnen
Chromium can import bookmarks and passwords from Brave since both use the Chromium format. However, Brave-specific data like reward history or shield settings won’t transfer. You can export bookmarks as HTML in Brave and import them into Chromium. Extensions and settings must be reinstalled manually. Session data and open tabs don’t carry over automatically.
Von Brave zu Chromium wechseln – Schritt für Schritt
- Export bookmarks in Brave via Settings > Bookmarks > Export bookmarks
- Install Chromium via your distro’s package manager or Flathub
- Import the bookmarks HTML file into Chromium under Bookmarks
- Install privacy extensions: uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, and Canvas Defender
- Enable safe browsing and adjust site permissions in Chromium settings
- Sign in to Google account if you want sync for history and passwords

Does Chromium block ads by default like Brave?
No, Chromium does not block ads or trackers by default. You need to install extensions like uBlock Origin to get similar functionality.
