lmao.
Chrome or Chromium? Because that "hardening" is only the switches they allow you to use, so if its full of proprietary tracking software it is not hardened at all
Why not use Chromium then? Give it a try?
Just so you know, Chromium Browsers are more secure if you use the native package. But just for privacy reasons I would not run Chrome unrestricted in my system.
Automatic system updates work great.

Also great Browser, not sure about how early releases come I use Beta
You havent looked at the repo. And we are talking about different sandboxes here.
The browsers sandbox websites, this is broken if the entire browser is sandboxed as you need to remove that capability to do so.
My bash script pulls in the official brave repo and gpg key, fix the access permissions and that is it. Brave has no documentation on how to use their repo without dnf so this is needed.
The repo has gpg verification enabled and the system will update the browser.
Please dont spread misinformation if you havent even looked at the "random bash script" that does not handle the updatingô
