I suspect for most people who hadn't switched already, that ship has already sailed.
Chrome had something of an edge over Firefox for a while with a more responsive UI, but since Firefox Quantum it hasn't really had anything besides some creepy Google integrations.
Edit: Chromium is also easier to embed, but that doesn't really matter for the purposes of chosing a browser.
- Qub3d 7y agoIts strange, for me. I remember getting super pumped about Chromium when it went live in '09. Then, somewhere along the line, I felt like a boiled frog. Honestly, a big change for me was symbolically realized by The logo change: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome#/media/File:Chrome_Logo.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome#/media/File:Chro... It went from this space-age, nerdy little project to a cleaned up design that signified its shift to a position as a core Google product.
- epiphanitus 7y agoDoes Chromium have the same privacy issues as Chrome does?
- aasasd 7y agoSome of them, see https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium for a patched version. For me, Google's hold also manifested as complete absence of support for H.264 on Mac, because calling the Cisco's freely available openh264 is ‘too slow.’ In Linux, distro maintainers patch in the support for openh264.
