Doesn't Chromium already lower their revenue from other lacks of integration that are included in Chrome?
- berbec 8y agoNext to no one uses Chromium. The integrations usually start in Chrome, leaving Chromium pure, allowing Opera etc to forge their own path. This is a disturbing trend to change the course of the project, likely due to Edge being based on Chromium.
- jbigelow76 8y agoI bet a decent chunk of the MS engineers lobbied to adopt Gecko instead of Chromium when they decided to move away from EdgeHtml. I wonder what the reasoning was for not going that route, it seems like a huge miss and a total acceptance of a browser monoculture.
- ChrisSD 8y agoGecko is deep in to a transitional phase. Once it comes out the other end it may be simple to embed but it's currently far too early for that. On the other hand Chromium is relatively simple to adapt with many real world examples to learn from. (Personally I think they should stick with EdgeHtml but it seems that ship has sailed).
- dralley 8y agoI wish they would have thrown in with the Servo project, but Chromium is ready now and Servo isn't, so I'm sure that factored in.
- fiddlerwoaroof 8y agoI wonder how quickly servo could become feature if a major player decided to adopt it.
- addicted 8y agonodeJS uses Chromium and not Gecko. I suspect MS’s requirements basically necessitated the use of Chromium. However, this does provide an opening for MS edge, if MS forks Chromium for Edge and excludes user hostile “features” such as this.
- sireat 8y agoSadly the only use of Chromium among regular non-tech people is in spyware/malware installations. There is a quite a bit of adware which uses unsigned Chromium to push their wares. That is the malware installs a modified Chromium with all the "extras". So anecdotally, when I see Chromium on a users computer I assume the worst (that I have a cleanup task ahead).
