Despite my issues with it, I use Chrome. It’s simply too integrated into my life. But I just saw (like 2 minutes ago) from another thread here about Zen Browser and maaaan is it nice.
I agree, though there are plenty of situations where you must have a chromium based browser. If it must be a daily driver, Arc is probably better than ungoogled-chromium.
Zen Browser is a free and open-source fork of Mozilla Firefox, with its main focus being privacy, customizability and design, and it is licensed under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 (MPL 2.0).
Simple forks, sure. Independent forks? No. So I guess it depends on if Zen considers itself independent or not, and I can’t seem to find that information.

Zen is good. Arc is decent if you must have a chromium browser for some reason, but not OSS
IMO, if I’m going to jump from Chrome it might as well be for libre/OSS. No reason to just from proprietary to proprietary.

Isn’t Zen just a skin of firefox, so the same issues? And Arc is VC funded…

Yes, it seems to use the same engine as Firefox.
But not a fork, right? Sorry I don’t understand it clearly.
Seems to be a fork.
Chromium browsers are affected by any changes to chrome, I wonder if the same is true for Firefox forks.
No, because the Mozilla’s new policy doesnt apply to forks.
