If you’re still personally using Google Chrome in 2024, please stop it, it is lib behavior at this point.
If something you absolutely need requires chromium use:
Brave(nah on second thought, Fuck Brave, techbro crypto-ad scheme and proprietary tooling)- Ungoogled Chromium: https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium
Switch to Firefox Now
If you really need to keep using chromium, no you don’t shut up and switch to Firefox already lib.
You don’t need to use Chromium, and they’re almost all Chromium.
It’s Firefox or barbarism. — Rosa Luxemburg, probablyGNOME Web (Formerly known as Epiphany) uses Webkit, the same engine that powers Safari. Just wanted to point that out there.
I forgot that any open source WebKit browsers existed.
People on Chrome reading this post and procrastinating on switching… I see you. You cannot hide from the contradictions of your computing.
FIREFOX SUPERFOX
dont use brave, crypto shit
Edited post, even libre software comrades like me slip up and don’t condemn things for what they are.
Sometimes I still think I’m on c/linux and I have to make myself more vanilla and non-threatening to libs.
I have a very specific gripe about chromium based browsers and it’s that they don’t follow the ECMAScript spec well. For example in Chrome if you create a JavaScript class and scope some fields as private, if you try to access them chrome will just let you. On Firefox and Safari they will block access which is the correct behavior
Brave (nah on second thought, Fuck Brave, techbro crypto-ad scheme and proprietary tooling)
Homophobic CEO too, he tries to keep this buried.
Edit: For those who don’t want to go through the link or incase it’s ever down:
- 2008 donation of $1000 to California Proposition 8, which called for the banning of same-sex marriage in California
- donations in the amount of $2,100 to Proposition 8 supporter Tom McClintock between 2008 and 2010.
- Resigned from the Mozilla CEO position after only 11 days in 2014 because of pressure over these donations and views
- Went on to start funding Brave in 2015 then releasing in 2016
Firefox gang!
Librewolf and icecat ftw
Icecat is the only truly libre web browser, but most people aren’t ready for that conversation. Good shout out.
