Is https://download-chromium.appspot.com/ not good enough?
I don't use this as a my main browser though, just for testing. I don't recommend Chromium backends due to Google control over it.
That's not Ungoogled Chromium, at all. Not even close.
Right, is https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium then? Take like 4 clicks to get a working AppImage.
Do you not realize that regular users may struggle to install extensions without the extension store? This is because ungoogled Chromium lacks that feature.
No I did not and I'm not sure what you imagine "regular users" might be. I feel that if someone goes the extra length to get their browser outside of a store, they can do the same with extensions, is it extravagant?
Not a problem in Vivaldi, you can install even pure scripts as extension, without the need of an Userscript Manager, like TamperMonkey or similar. Due to the great amount of features, most extension from the Chrome Store are anyway redundant.
