4 Browsers That Might Break Your Chrome Addiction
- dkns 10y agoIt's really telling when 3 of the 4 proposed alternatives are built on chromium.
- sudhirj 10y agoYou mean Blink, I think. Chromium is Blink plus an open source chrome with the tabs and settings. Google Chrome is Chromium plus closed source Google stuff.
- dkns 10y agoI wasn't sure myself so I checked wikipedia pages and for both brave and opera it says they are using chromium as base: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_(web_browser) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_(web_browser) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_(web_browser) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_(web_browser) I know that wikipedia might not be the most reliable source of information.
- sixothree 10y agoFor me that's a plus. With opera I get the rendering of Chrome, the features of Opera, all without that dirty creepy feeling of using Google products.
- ethagnawl 10y agoI surely thought Firefox/Servo would at least warrant a mention as _something to look-out for_.
- emsy 10y agoI switched from Firefox to Chromium due to one major issue: For some reason, the memory and CPU usage become way to high after long running sessions. Only restarting the browser will resolve the problem. The problem is so severe that sometimes the browser doesn't respond and CPU usage affects other programs. I'm skeptic whether the Mozilla team will ever tackle the issue, given their recent priority to add features.
