It takes a lot of time in these steps:

ninja: Entering directory `out/Release'
[1406/1406] LINK ./mksnapshot_without_compiler.stampdtp.stamp.stamporm_v8.oKKable.o
ninja: Entering directory `out/Release'
[3/3] LINK ./chrome_sandboxome_sandbox/sandbox.o_linux.o
ninja: Entering directory `out/Release'

it took 2 hours until now and I am still waiting
Also, the process itself needs a lot of disk space until now it took more than 4GB which is not normal for installing an application. Is there a better way to follow in order to install the latest version of chromium?

I am using the latest version of the OS itself with the latest kernel

Unfortunately not really, Chromium is just that big (one of the largest open-source projects).
I also want to use this chance to link The reckless, infinite scope of web browsers.

To receive Chromium updates I'd recommend to use a channel and wait for Hydra to finish building it (or get an AMD Ryzen Threadripper :D).

Since M81 won't receive any updates anymore and there are known
vulnerabilities we should mark it as insecure so that users are aware of
the risks.
Updating Chromium to M83 is unfortunately too challenging for
19.09, but as of today we've already covered the one month period of
security updates for "oldstable" and both 20.03 and nixos-unstable
contain recent versions (i.e. users should either update to the current
stable release or install Chromium from a different channel).
