Ah, what I had to do was use the "--allow-release-info-change" option when updating the repositories due to changing from "testing" to "stable". Rookie mistake! After doing that chromium installed OK.

Looks like Synaptic wants to fetch version 114, while I get

# apt list chromium
Auflistung… Fertig
chromium/stable-security 120.0.6099.224-1~deb12u1 amd64
chromium/stable-security 120.0.6099.224-1~deb12u1 i386

# apt policy chromium

Maybe you just need to run an apt update on the root console before, or tell Synaptic to refresh the repos.

Although Firefox works fine for most sites, occasionally there will be one that works better in Chrome/Chromium. I attempted to install the Chromium Browser through Synaptic in Devuan Daedalus but downloading of the packages failed. Do different repositories need to be enabled?

I have not changed anything in the default "/etc/apt/sources.list" file, which looks like this:
