As the person who made the (currently highest upvoted) comment about not needing a new Chromium browser, could you enlighten me on what I should know about “today’s industry”?
Answer me this, what chromium browser today is good??
I don’t use Chromium browsers because they’re at the verge of becoming a monopoly, it’s important to use alternatives for the foreseeable future to sustain what’s left of diversity.
It depends on your point of view, of the ones I’ve seen I’d guess Vivaldi has the best user features but it’s closed source so there’s double reason to not use it. It’s what I’d use if I didn’t care about any of this. But if you want my genuine browser recommendation from a Privacy perspective (since this is the privacy community) I suggest Mullvad Browser, it’s Firefox based and has strong anti-fingerprinting and privacy defaults - it does break some sites though and is missing some QoL features but that’s the price you pay.
Yeah different perspective, i don’t see any need in using alternatives to chromium tho, firefox works with google, so this fight with the monopolist is just ridiculous for me.
I would say don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good, if you have a problem with Mozilla as an organisation it doesn’t negate the valid concerns about the monopoly, it would effectively hand control of web standards over to Google defeating the entire ethos of the open web. The Firefox browser engine is independent even if you don’t believe the organisation behind it is, that can be verified because of open source, there’s no need to be defeatist yet.
Maybe, but i still doesn’t like firefox that much… Firefox has a bug where my vpn extension can’t connect after relaunching the browser, and it’s like every vpn i used, they don’t fix it
Can’t tell if you’re joking but the problem is serious lack of competition for Chromium browsers. Every Chromium browser brings nothing meaningfully new but just strengthens Google’s monopoly.
You’ve got that backwards bub. Firefox is the competition. Chrome has like 65% of the market share. Chrome is the browser to compete against, not Firefox.
Good browser, people who don’t see need in a new chromium browser know nothing about today’s industry lol

Ooh, as a web developer, I can answer this.
We (web developers) are, on average, incompetent. Many of our websites only work in Chromium based browsers, due to aforementioned incompetence.
I love ff but competition is always good

I meant in the way that chrome is good competition for ff. Not necessarily that we Need even more chromium browsers
Oh yes, it would be even worse if we only had one browser engine. We need more browser engines is the point, not more tweaked Chromium browsers.
You’ve got that backwards bub. Firefox is the competition. Chrome has like 65% of the market share. Chrome is the browser to compete against, not Firefox.
Even if Chrome is the dominant Browser it is still competition, no?
No.
yeah, “competition”, firefox sends data to google and google pays firefox for google search to be main search in the browser out of the box
I’ll take Missing the Point for 100, Alex.
No, we don’t need more chromium browsers but fewer. I will never use that garbage.
Okay ig? I hate firefox so i don’t use it, but i love chromium so i want more normal browsers on chromium
