Does this also affect Chromium, or is it just Google Chrome?

The article mentions it being affecting Google Chrome through Chromium, but it's not clear if it also affects Chromium on its own, or other Chromium-based browsers.

It allegedly also affects Edge and Vivaldi, so it seems to be chromium not chrome

Just now tested in Vivaldi and it works, so yeah seems like Chromium 🥲
