Taking bets on how long until Chromium becomes proprietary now.
- rc_mob 2y agoYeah I view the usage of chromium as a negative not a positive
- fmajid 2y agoFirefox/Gecko is sadly no better now (see their despicable stance on Private Click Measurement). The only alternatives on the horizon are Ladybird and Servo, and they are both at least 2 years from prime time.
- michaelt 2y agoI doubt they need to, really. The browser market is essentially: 64% Chrome. Installed by default on Android, also popular on desktop. 22% Safari. Installed by default and impossible to change on iOS 5% Edge. Installed by default on Windows, and pushed aggressively. 3% Samsung. Installed by default on Samsung devices. 2% Firefox 3% Other Opera, Brave and suchlike don't appear to be threatening Chrome's market dominance. Why cut them off, when they're helping keep competition law regulators asleep?
- Bancakes 2y agoYou can change away from safari on iOS for a while now.

- fmajid 2y agoAt some point Google is going to remove Manifest V2 code from Chromium, and few browser packagers will be able to maintain a fork preserving MV2 availability. Will the Linux Foundation work to address this? The announcement is light on details as to what actual projects they plan on supporting.
