Is Google Locking Down Chrome to Resist the Rise of Chromium Based Browsers? - It's FOSS News
news.itsfoss.com
Google is limiting the capability of Chromium. Is it because Chromium-based browsers have started to eat into Google Chrome's marketshare?

The inherent problem with creating a new browser/platform is getting people to create addons/extensions for it.

If you don’t think Google could do this, think again. Google has an iron grip on the Chromium project.

From the beginning of its time with Google, Android was touted as THE open-source phone operating system. The Android Open Source Project was used by several projects to create their own version of Android.

Then at a certain point, Google introduced an app called Google Play Services. This app is not open source and contains all of the stuff you need to access Google’s services.

    In terms of interactivity, I need to look more into this bliz. I don’t know what it is capable of, but maybe some limited form of a comment section could be implemented

    Bliz is an extension to text files to allow interpolated shell scripting - in this case, the fish shell. Of course, the shell can call any other program to embed content from.

    It’s intended to be used to generate gemtext dynamically, but it can just as easily generate any kind of text file.

      OK, that seems interesting. Maybe Gemini could be capable of even more than I anticipated then. Will have to look into that.
