Firefox is the only way.

Um actually... Opera and Edge weren't always based on chromium!

Firefox with add-ons. Especially, but not only, Ublock Origin.

This is why I've stuck with firefox through thick and thin

Google accounts for some 80%+ of Mozilla’s revenue. Firefox struck a different kind of deal with the devil than chromium browsers, but Google is the one pulling the strings.

Brave, Vivaldi, Edge and other chromium browsers are forks of the main chromium project. They can decide whether to include or exclude features from mainstream chromium.

As far as I know, Brave and Vivaldi will keep Manifest V2 extension support and said that they will not ship WEI (Web Environment Integrity).

Discord uses a modified version of electron, and it's also probably an outdated fork as well, although I am not sure about that.

Steam, in the other hand, uses CEF, which they use as a way to render it's interface and as a replacement of VGUI (a good example of this is the steam game overlay), I don't know if they will ship WEI if it ever releases in chromium as there isn't a statement from Valve yet.

If I missed something, please tell me!

This feels weird to say.... I really think Microsoft should've stuck with trident / edgehtml.

Wait STEAM AND DISCORD ARE CHROMIUM?

Mozilla doesn't make it as easy to use the Firefox / Gecko engine in other projects, which doesn't help for adoption.

Firefox is kept alive by Google default search money AFAIK otherwise why don't they sue google for showing different search results page in firefox

wait, the steam browser is chromium? no way

I just wish Mozilla didn't just tread Gecko as part of Firefox, the few who tried developing on it came to the conclusion that it's not sustainable if the engines developer doesn't give a fuck about you! :/

Laughts in LibreWolf

Firefox user since before it was called Firefox.

It gets worse. All Electron applications are Chromium, too.

Be sure to install AdNauseam on your Firefox to really go full "fuck you" to google.

But... but... it's an open-source...

Safari still uses the WebKit engine... right?

Google Chrome used to use WebKit before switching to their own weird engine that a whole bunch of other browsers now use.

From this band, I get more and more in love with Vivaldi, especially their Workspaces feature.

Maybe apple will re-launch safari on windows, now that google is being a dickhead.

Honest question… I get that Chrome has a bunch questionable privacy practices that sends data back to Google, but do the chromium based browsers do that as well? My understanding is that Chromium is just the rendering engine. How is it bad?

Also, if Google implements their bullshit DRM features, I wonder if the derivative browsers will be able to disable it. I believe I saw that Brave said they won’t use it.

This is a fucking childish take. If you don't like what Google is doing with Chromium that's one thing, but acting as if the code itself is evil is just straight-up magical thinking.

It was a sad day when Opera dropped presto.

And yet it is missing tons of electron apps.

Also there’s now a DuckDuckGo browser!

Why is steam and discord here?

There’s also Arc for Mac. Nice but still too chromeish for me. Thank god there’s Safari

Midori, Falkon, Vivaldi, Epiphany, and maybe if you have to - silk are all browsers I'd use over chrome.

Duck duck go browser is also very good.

Steam is chromium, in every device/OS?

Learned Electron is also chromium. So Foundry vtt is as well...

Am I the only one who doesn't get the hate on chromium? I mean it's fast, it works and nobody forces you to use Google's proprietary chrome. You can use anything you want

Am I crazy for using Opera? I switched from chrome 3 years ago and have enjoyed everything about Opera even their "gamer" browser OperaGX is just a great experience.

It's so sad that Presto didn't get FOSSed.

Technically it already depended on plenty of FOSS technologies, like gstreamer etc.

We know this from the leak which allowed to compile a working browser.

If only it was legally released, it would still be alive, I'm sure of that - there were even patches for the leaked source adding functionality and fixing bugs.

Librewolf for the win !

I mean brave is fine. I use firefox and brave and tor browser and mullvad browser. There isn't anything too bad about brave though

What's the source imagine from in this meme?

Firefox died long ago.

It was an engine fight, and Mozilla decided not to participate.

What does Google holding the gun in this picture imply?

Real talk, if even Steam is Chromium-based, how can I escape? Is there a non- or less-evil, but similar launcher? I'm trying to shift away, but it's really difficult since everyone I know uses at least one, usually many of those programs.

id still probably use an chromium browser

I'm watching The Spiffing Brit's exploit live stream right now. Firefox cannot handle that. Edge can. On linux

interesting

Update: Alright. Fine! Its probably extension issue

Whats that squirrel??
