Wow. Chromium and chrome are pretty user hostile and are continuing to get worse. Chromium is also (IMO) significantly more difficult to compile than Firefox.

Wow.
Chromium and chrome are pretty user hostile and are continuing to get worse. Chromium is also (IMO) significantly more difficult to compile than Firefox. In addition to all that Firefox is honestly more performant than chromium. It’s not the fastest browser but chrome/chromium are just so slow.
I wonder if Microsoft just wants one company to be in charge of the web and they really don’t care who. Do open standards really bother them that much?
- detaro 8y agoI'm not sure you can go from "one Microsoft employee says something stupid on Twitter" (and for some reason everyone thinks that's big news) to "Microsoft wants". It's funny that even Chrome devs are arguing against him (although not too surprising, if we assume they know more about how the sausage is made).
- toyg 8y ago> Chromium is also (IMO) significantly more difficult to compile than Firefox. That's a terrifying thought. I remember a time when FF was widely considered the worst open browser to build and embed, which is why Apple went with KHTML when creating WebKit. If things got so bad on the Chromium side, I wonder if it's time for Mozilla to put some effort again in making Gecko easily-embeddable...?
