A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Hope other browser developers realize chromium is a ticking time bomb. I've used firefox for over 15 years and see no reason to change with the current landscape of browsers being so reliant on google .

Okay, but change to what then? All the other options are just Chrome, Safari, and Firefox again.
Ungoogle-Chromium, Brave, Vivaldi, Librewolf, anything that isn't paid by Google. That they are still based on Chrome or Firefox doesn't really matter, since they remove the undesirable parts of them.
In the case of Brave and Vivaldi, they add their own undesirable parts (Brave adds crypto bullshit and Vivaldi is closed-source, so $DEITY knows what they're adding).
Librewolf is open and doesn't contribute to the Chromium monoculture; so it's the best option
Actually it does matter, since Google are killing off the ability for ad blockers to work with a new manifest specification in Chromium.
