Do you have a good non chromium based alternative? To be clear I genuinely am asking those things make switching probably worth it considering how little of a hassle it is.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Sadly not, I'd also be interested in one!

isn't chromium under the Linux foundation now? Might look at the options on that side.

No, it's still 100% owned and 100% controlled by Google.

The Linux Foundation is just making it easier for people outside of Google to submit work to it.

Cynically, you could say that Google is just trying to get free contributions while retaining all the control. Optimistically you could say this is the first step in Google giving up control of Chromium in the far future, although currently they've given zero verbal or written indicators that they plan to do that.

This comment made me look into if KDE has one and apparently they do it even has built in ad blocking.

Off to compile for 3 hours. /j

Is that Falkon? I'd use it if it could integrate with bitwarden.

Makes me remember when I used Konqueror with FF as a fallback before Chrome existed.
