Firefox, but if you do need a chromium based browser try ungoogled chromium
Also, I forgot to mention this, but Google didn't really support WEI yet. It's all from two engineers' private opinions, though it's also strange that they haven't made an official statement yet.
Even just the fact that Google could force something like WEI on to everyone should be a wake-up call though.

I use Firefox on high privacy settings but that breaks some sites so, when necessary, I use Iron. Iron is a less spy-y version of Chrome which has all the same apps (and a handful of its own).
If Iron is built on Chromium, which its website says that it is, it will be affected by Google's upcoming changes.
I wasn't suggesting the OP should use Iron instead of Firefox. I was pointing out one drawback of (locked down) Firefox and noting a slightly better alternative to Chrome which has all the functionality and less of the spying.
My choice is to use both because a very small proportion of sites won't work with Firefox on high privacy settings. Sites which force me to use lower privacy standards are used (quarantined) in a separate browser.
