If anything, I only use ungoogled chromium if a website refuses to work in Firefox. Had a financial fraud and identity theft scam the other day hosted on a Singaporean form service thing that I had to report using that browser because the send report button wasn’t working on FF.
As much as I don’t like it, it’s probably a good idea to have a backup chromium based browser like ungoogled chromium just in case. Just be sure to not be like me and actually have it in some sort of sandbox rather than running the flatpak on its own.
I was under the impression Flatpaks are sandboxed. (I am not an expert.)
Flatpak is a utility for software deployment and package management for Linux. It provides a sandbox environment in which users can run application software in (partial) isolation from the rest of the system.

I also keep Ungoogled Chromium around as a last resort (AppImage in my case).
Flatpak is not a sandbox

Flatpaks are as sandboxed as the sandbox settings you give them, check out if the defaults are satisfactory on Flatseal before running it.
