Maintaining a fork is much less of an undertaking, than reimplementing all Chromium quirks. Hence plenty of Chromium forks exist, but only one last barely competing browser.
- jonathanyc 8y agoNo nontrivial Chromium forks exist, to my knowledge. Do you know of any?
- zzzcpan 8y agoI don't think Opera, Vivaldi, Brave, Yandex browser are trivial by any measure. Heck, even something small and independent, like ungoogled-chromium, is in no way trivial.
- Yoric 8y agoI haven't checked, but it was my understanding that – outside of the UX – these are all very shallow forks. Does anyone know more about this?
- jonathanyc 8y agoYes, these are all very shallow forks that mostly “just” change UI. That guy doesn’t understand what nontrivial means.
