If you like the way Chromium looks and feels then yes it's very worth it. Personally I switched from Firefox to Brave due to their different approaches to fingerprinting protection which I consider a huge privacy issue. Firefox seems to take the approach of making everyone look the same all the time, but not enough people use the locked down version for it to be effective and they still leak enough Javascript-level information that that even within the "all look the same" crowd you will stand out, for example they spoof the request user agent but not the javascript-level user agent string (maybe that was a bug and has been fixed?). Brave on the other hand takes my preferred approach which is to muddy the water as much as possible, they spoof as many data points to make you look as unique as possible, between every user and between ever session (which is especially important imho). With Brave if you want a fingerprinting website to think you're someone new you just need to open a new session.
There isn't much to say about it beyond the buffs to privacy, as that's really it's purpose, to be Chrome but more privacy focused.
