lol, I feel that Firefox is chrome but using Firefox engine. What I don't understand is that can see evidence of this if you cause an error and view source. It has chrome:// literally hard-coded and commented out.
Host a web server, kill the web-server, try to visit the URL, open inspector and look chrome.
Examples:
"<script xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" src="chrome://global/content/neterror/aboutNetErrorCodes.js"></script>"
Visit chrome://global/content/aboutNetError.mjs in your firefox browser. Why is Firefox accepting chrome:// URI's?
You can even browse: chrome://global/skin/icons/
Visit: jar:file:///usr/local/lib/firefox/omni.ja!/chrome/
(i'm on freebsd, so if linux: /usr/lib/firefox/omni.ja!/chrome or something) too drunk to care. The internet is fucked.
Firefox version: 109.0 (64-bit)
root@cuddles:/usr/crystal/doublerabbit/ # pkg install chromium

- eipi10_hn 4y agoOh gosh, "chrome" here is not the browser... https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Chrome https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Chrome https://www.nngroup.com/articles/browser-and-gui-chrome/ https://www.nngroup.com/articles/browser-and-gui-chrome/ > 'Chrome' is the user interface overhead that surrounds user data and web page content. Browser/GUI's "chrome" terminology existed before google "chrome" browser. That's why you use "userChrome.css" to modify the visual look by yourself.
- doublerabbit 4y agoWell you've convinced me, call me skeptical. Thanks!
- phatfish 4y agoI always assumed Google Chrome was named Chrome BECAUSE of "Chrome" being the internal name for the Firefox UI styling. I guess I'm old :)
- solarkraft 4y agoChrome is named after this :-)
