Did you miss the part where these Google decisions affect all Chromium browsers?
- pedrocx486 7y agoUnless they backfill it... I can see Microsoft going all out with Edge Chromium and Brave also trying their best. Both have manpower to try overcome Google's decisions on Chromium with their forks.
- roca 7y agoSure, but carrying patches against Chromium trunk is an ongoing cost. It's especially problematic if it means there are diverging extension APIs. If this is the last decision Google ever makes that their downstreams disagree with, then sure it's probably manageable.

- thrower123 7y agoMicrosoft might just have the horsepower to keep up with any particularly shitty changes that Google might potentially try to push through, better than some of the other Chromium skins. At least if they want to.
- fiblye 7y agoMicrosoft displays ads within their OS. They would join arms with Google if they honestly decided to tackle adblocking.
