Technically, Chromium is not being sacrificed, it will just lose access to some powerful APIs. In practice it means Chromium as we know it is done. Most people who want or need these features will be unaware of some community fork and will simply switch to Chrome or Firefox.
- mminer237 6y agoI can't imagine all that many people are using just Chromium itself though. Most beneficiaries of Chromium are by virtue of browsers built on top of it such as Brave, Vivaldi, and Edge, all of which have already built their own synchronization services. And if someone was using Chromium, I would think there's a decent chance they would switch to one of those three.
