That’s true, but when I said switch to chrome I ment the official google Chrome which Google makes not a chromium fork. Just because it uses chromium doesn’t mean it’s bad.
Except it kinda does. It reinforces the dominant position Chrome has. A browser mono-culture, if you will. Google doesn’t need to go through proper channels to establish a new standard if they can just set the de-facto-standard by supporting or, maybe more important, not supporting something in Chrome. And since Manifest v3 ad-blockers and other content filters are severely hampered, which only serves Google’s ad-revenue but also hinders accessibility extensions. Mono-cultures just aren’t healthy.
Yeah those are 2 good points that I didn’t think about when writing my comment. I guess they aren’t bad in terms of the fact that they spy on you (browser like brave don’t and brave has a built in ad blocker so it is mostly unefected by manifest v3).
But chromium is bad in terms that it is so dominant in the browser space that google can just do things like manifest v3 and no one does anything about it because they won’t even consider for a moment that firefox is a viable alternative.
People almost stair at me in disgust when they see me using firefox because they think it’s a terrible browser even thought they don’t really know why. I think that goes to show how excellent of a job Google has done brainwashing everyone to think chrome is the only browser worth considering.
Overall I love competition and using the less popular competing product, since it’s the only way you can stop for proffit companies from screwing it’s users over.
Oh, don’t get me wrong. Chrome and derivates are also terrible for spying on your every click. And unless it’s a de-Googled chromium fork it absolutely still phones home to Google. Not quite as much as chrome, but still quite a bit.
