I avoid Chromium mainly not for ideological reasons, but because I find it to be very locked down and customization-unfriendly.
For example on Safari there is an option to adjust for how long the browser should remember history, the default being 1 year, and you can set it to remember all. On Chromium it is hard-coded to be stuck at 90 days, there is no way to change it. On Firefox it depends on the total items/size of the history file instead of the time passed, with the maximum number calculated based on your PC specs. Both settings on Safari and Firefox are much saner than "90 days no matter what" on chromium.
On Firefox I can open about:config and tweak whatever I want down to the total pages to be remembered in the go back/go forward list. There is nothing like that on Chromium and whenever I tweak something on its equivalent, chrome://flags, every time I have to relaunch the browser to see the effects, much more cumbersome.
