I wouldn't detail my full set up but I use it for services where I need to login or identify myself to services.

Can't say anything about the browser, but honestly that name is ridiculous. You literally just need to drop a letter and you are left with Spermium.
Well now I can't unsee it
Just hearing of it, but it looks like it is blink based (no thanks) and windows based (double no thanks). But I hope it works for you.
A fine way to browse the modern web on old versions of Windows. Which is a niche use case that I personally don't encounter.
If I'm logging in to services tied to my real identity and need to absolutely make sure everything on the website works correctly, I use plain Chromium from the Debian repo.
it's neat that it works on legacy windows versions, but it's much slower than this chromium backport. (details)
i like their option for compact ui though
Brave and Vivaldi are corporate sellouts. They saved Manifest V2 but instantly deleted core engine features (WebSQL, FTP, JPEG-XL) the second Google dropped them to avoid technical debt. Supermium actually defies those engine deletions while maintaining modern zero-day CVE patches. As for CRW7, it's more of a hack. It resurrects dead zombie code (SwiftShader/DXVA) directly into the core rendering pipeline, causing massive merge conflicts that permanently destroy their security update speed. Supermium wins because it uses reverse engineered OS API shims (progwrp). By intercepting calls at the OS boundary instead of bloating the web engine, Supermium rebases and patches zero days infinitely faster than CRW7 ever will.
I think (pray) that the devs are not Japanese. /j
