Avoid chromium browsers
Floorp is an excellent browser. I mainly use it for the first class vertical tab support, but it's ability to pin websites to open in a sidebar is great. I use it for stuff like Proton mail and drive.
I will say in case anyone here saw it in the past, it had a bit of drama around the author making part of it closed source, but that was fortunately resolved before it was ever released with any proprietary code.
Tell us more of the Floorp. (as long as its not based on chrome)
Any issues with not being set up in Japanese?
Neat, thanks for letting us know. Will have to try it.
Vivaldi does have it's own built in adblocker. You can add sources. It's not as robust at uBO, but than nothing
In case it matters https://vivaldi.com/blog/manifest-v3-update-vivaldi-is-future-proofed-with-its-built-in-functionality/
I don’t like or use brave for multiple reasons but why is the fact that it's built on chromium a problem?
Because every browser is becoming 3 chromes in a trench coat.
Long term this will be an issue.
LONG LIVE GECKO
They are doing what Apple has done to browsers on iPhones. It’s all safari all the way down… lol
Ironically, Apple forcing Safari on iPhones is the single greatest thing standing between Chromium and total market domination.
Not that it's a good thing for Apple users, but it's the one remaining reason not to slap a "Not on Chromium? Don't bother visiting" sign on every website. Us Firefox users don't matter, statistically speaking
Fuck. I hadn’t even thought of that perspective. You are totally right.
Link is borked, add another ) at the end
Works fine for me and has the ), what are you using to look at it?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_(web_browser)#Browsers_based_on_Chromium
This link works for me but the previous has the same broken link. I'm using the Sync android client. ¯\(°_o)/¯
The 1st opens a link to the wiki page: Chromium (web browser
Missing the ending ) for me
Odd so it does not like the link getting renamed then.
