Firefox with add-ons. Especially, but not only, Ublock Origin.
So you mean Librewolf
This is why I’ve stuck with firefox through thick and thin
Google accounts for some 80%+ of Mozilla’s revenue. Firefox struck a different kind of deal with the devil than chromium browsers, but Google is the one pulling the strings.
Bit of a weird thought, but I wonder also if they see Mozilla as a sort of controlled opposition too? As in, keep Firefox around so they don’t get in trouble over antitrust or something like that?
Sshhhhhh you’ll destroy the narrative!
This feels weird to say… I really think Microsoft should’ve stuck with trident / edgehtml.
wait, the steam browser is chromium? no way
Was IE for the longest time
Laughts in LibreWolf
Be sure to install AdNauseam on your Firefox to really go full “fuck you” to google.
I actually think AdNauseam is the cause of Google making WEI.
Firefox user since before it was called Firefox.
Safari still uses the WebKit engine… right?
Google Chrome used to use WebKit before switching to their own weird engine that a whole bunch of other browsers now use.
When Google forked from WebKit to create Blink, they had genuine reasons for it.
Apple was stalling any progress of web by stalling new features in WebKit. They wanted to push their native apps and get big cut from developers’ money.
Google had to fork and progress web dev further.
And unfortunately for us, Google folks are greedy assholes who stop at nothing to own everything web even if they have to bend everything.
WEI is a perfect example.
I never expected to fall down a rabbit hole.
google uses blink which is forked from WebKit
Named as such because, like Weeping Angels, if you blink you’ll be sent back to a society without enforcement of antitrust laws
actually the name of Blink engine is quite interesting, it was named after the non-standard html
blinktag and ironically it never supported it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink_(browser_engine)#Naming
Thanks for reminding me of what the hell it was called
Honest question… I get that Chrome has a bunch questionable privacy practices that sends data back to Google, but do the chromium based browsers do that as well? My understanding is that Chromium is just the rendering engine. How is it bad?
Also, if Google implements their bullshit DRM features, I wonder if the derivative browsers will be able to disable it. I believe I saw that Brave said they won’t use it.
The problem is largely that it gives power to Google to implement what they want (and how they want it) and everyone else just has to go along or become incompatible with 70% of all web users

Yes chromium is 100% just as bad
Also there’s now a DuckDuckGo browser!
Which uses the OS web view. So on macOS it’s the safari engine.

epiphany and falkon goes away…
well,epiphany isn’t really chromium. it’s webkit instead
From this band, I get more and more in love with Vivaldi, especially their Workspaces feature.
There’s also Arc for Mac. Nice but still too chromeish for me. Thank god there’s Safari
Safari might have better performance than others but I feel like the UI is pretty clunky, and as a développer, god I HATE safari and all their differences with every other major browser.
A developer friend told me the same… it’s a shame because it’s so handy with continuity between devices and all. Probably I’m just used to it
Why is steam and discord here?
Discord uses a framework called Electron. It uses, among other things, chromium to run the website on your desktop. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_(software_framework)
Steam at least uses chromium in its program for things like the store and built-in browser.
OBS should be there too.
