How many of the alternatives DON’T use chromium ?
- refulgentis 2y agoI understand absolutism re: Chromium, but "The DMA is built to allow Google to control the web (via competitors using the open source foundation of Chrome)" is a very bold and very weak claim.
- throwaway2990 2y agoSo you’re saying Google does not control the rendering engine and these competitor browsers have contributed functionality to the core rendering engine or added additional rendering functionality that isn’t in chromium?
- jkaplowitz 2y agoWhen I got prompted to choose an option recently, there were many options I didn't recognize, so I have no idea. Most of the options at the top of my list were Yandex, Edge, Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, all of which use Chromium except Safari (whose rendering engine still shares common ancestry with Chromium) and Firefox. I don't remember the exact order of these options, but Yandex was first in my prompt. It does use Chromium. I assume they put the popular options first in a randomized order, then other options below them in a randomized order, similar to what Microsoft did when they had a similar requirement in Europe. But I don't actually know how they decide the order.
