@Suzzan
If you are looking for a chromium type web browser, check Brave in the software center.

sangheeta or Vivaldi browser 😉

I think that the Flatpak version should work, I know for a fact that the snap seems to have some issues at the time. Otherwise brave is quite close to chromium and should be a pretty good replacement.

Chromium snap is broken, un-googled is more aggresive than googled and old, snapshots are unreliable etc

You can download stable from here https://chromium.cypress.io/linux/ like I did, but with 77.0.3865.90 (latest stable) many YT videos are watchable in 360p only (h264 dec missing). I have chromium codecs installed but no luck. Help please?

Snaps do work in Solus you just have to add a few lines of code to your startup. Here is the page that I got the fix from.
Also if you try to install a snap and it gives you the error that says something like too early you just have to run the same command again and works the second time.

Write this command from the terminal: sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
reboot
From now on, snap applications will always work

winnie71 --now starts the service immediately, no reboot needed.
