I'm confused. Since iPhone 12 Pro doesn't come with a charger, does that mean I can safely use any USB-C charger?(such as Samsung or Google chargers)

Obviously I won't be trying it with some random no-name charger...

I see no reason why you would have any issues

Like you said, if you use a reputable brand you should be good.

I currently use Anker GaN chargers which are great.

Any usbc charger will work. PD Chargers will work best.

If you have an iPad or MacBook you can also use their respective usbc ports to charge your phone

Of course you can safely use other chargers. That's always been the case. Just avoid the no name gas station chargers and you'll be fine.

Any charger made to spec will work. Just keep to the big well known brands and stay away from cheap stuff and it's perfectly safe.

Cheap chargers are often nor properly designed and can damage the device by their insufficient filtering and voltage stability, cause fires due to underspecced components and poor fire protection, and pass live current through due to poor isolation which can be very dangerous.

I'll just skip Monday morning Starbucks coffee and use the $19 towards the official Apple 20-watt USB-C charger.

At least if my new iPhone 12 Pro catches fire, I can assign 100% of the blame on Apple, Inc. (knock on wood)

For me, I wouldn't bother with buying a usb charger that's less than 60w. RAVPower sells a really small one for about $24. I can than use it with any of my devices, from iPhone to my MBP 13". I like the idea of being able to grab a charger and usb c cable and know it'll work with everything.
