Chromium !== Chrome.
- mattl 3y agoHow much do they really differ? Chromium browsers for the most part are just going to appear the same to site owners.
- 01nate 3y agoIt'll all render the same using Chrome/Blink, but forks might take out tracking by Google (and potentially add other tracking), add adblock outside of plugins, or re-add support for Manifest V2 to name a few. Chromium forks can actually be pretty different.
- asadotzler 3y agoChromium is over 20 million lines of code. No Chromium fork is meaningfully different. Come back with that BS when Blink has 25% of its contributions coming from one of these Chrome skins.
- gitaarik 3y agoThat is true, but the Chrome/Chromium ecosystem is largely driven by Google. And Google makes use of this power position to push through web standards that benefit them, but not the users. Therefore I choose to use Firefox, to support a more open browser ecosystem.
- jonathankoren 3y agoIt’s literally a technological monoculture controlled by one company that can’t be trusted. Ironically, focusing on the window chrome does not matter for a healthy web, let alone a healthy open standard.
