If you’re still using Chrome… What was it like hitting retirement age before 2008?
Jokes aside, Chrome really is the bottom of my list in the last several years. I’ve gotten the best functionality out of Firefox in the last while. Anyone else different?
I’m stuck with chrome for work because everyone wants their integrated Google Workplace services to operate seamlessly (and because that’s what’s approved in our security P&P).
If it doesn’t work with other WebKit or chrome-based browsers, then we’re back to “extend and extinguish” and your company should run as far away from that locked-in garbage as fast as possible.
I do a lot of casting from my desktop to the Chromecast connected to my TV. I have not been able to successfully cast from Firefox. I would love to find a solution though.
I’ve been trying to switch to Firefox but the tab groups suck and I rely on that pretty heavily so I’m stuck in chromium. Every tab group thing I’ve tried on Firefox is just worse.
If only Firefox rendered my CSS exactly the same like in Chrome. I don’t know if they fixed it but last time developing a web site in FF was real annoying because when I made it look just right in FF some minor things were slightly off in Chrome so I had to keep going back and forth.
I don’t work in hardly anything touching a front end, but shouldn’t you support all major browsers for your rendering? So, checking it in several browsers all the time.
I totally get the difference between should and do, so honestly asking. There is shit I should do, and there is shit that there is time to do. Checking all browsers on all updates may not be it.
Yes, it’s Blink without the bits that Google doesn’t share (I wanted to be precise that nobody can compile actual Chrome from public sources, they can build Chromium which is almost but not quite the same)
Kinda, but it still connects to Google for updates for example, and syncs your browsing data to Google if you login. So it’s really only halfway there.
It does have some weird crypto stuff it promotes/offers after a vanilla install, but you can hide literally all of it. Brave is my daily driver, and looking at my installs you’d never know it had crypto stuff integrated.

Interesting, any experiences with this? How well does it work?
I preferred Brave but I’m side-eyeing it the more news that comes out about Chromium.

I use Firefox at home, but at work I use Edge as we use Microsoft for a lot of services. It’s actually surprisingly not bad ha ha.

Vivaldi uses the same engine as Chromium, and the company has been founded by ex Opera developers.

If FF isn’t for you then maybe give Brave a try. It’s basically a de-googled Chrome.
Isn’t Chromium degoogled Chrome?
Ungoogled Chromium is degoogled Chrome, the regular Chromium is just Chrome without (most of?) the proprietary / closed source components

Iirc, it has some crypto and nft stuff built in which many ppl hate.

Idk, people are weird sometimes. I use FF myself, but I think Brave is a good alternative. Definitely better than using Chrome imo.
