      Still a proprietary black box you shouldn’t trust and chromium based so you reinforce the chromium monopoly

        Why is vivaldi helping a chromium monopoly?

        I understand it is based on chrome tech, and I guess that means it can use chrome extensions maybe? But how does it help chrome if people use it?

          It uses Google’s browser engine base called Chromium, which Chrome is based on (the used engine is called “Blink”). A lot of websites are made to just function well on Chromium and maybe Safari

            Isn’t that more on the site creators? I have a handful of sites and web apps I don’t have a choice to simply avoid because of job-related requirements. I’ve tried a bunch of other approaches, but keeping a Chromium browser installed has, so far, been the least painful way to get through my normal work days.

              That’s on corporate sites just saving work or intentionally obstructing and restricting Firefox because Google basically a monopoly.

              For me personally Firefox (and it’s engine Gecko) work fine for 99% of websites I visit.

          With the market share of Chrome and Chrome-derived browsers Google basically single-handedly decides how the web works. They decide to implement some functionality, everybody needs to do the same, every other browser “vendor” has to implement it as well now. The consortium deciding about it theoretically is a fig leaf at that point.

        Agreed, but occasionally I have to use a site that doesn’t work properly on Firefox-based browsers. I mostly use Cromite to deal with that, but want a backup in case Cromite dies like its predecessor Bromite did.

          have you tried to fake user-agent with Firefox? Most shitty sites I encountered which pull that off just do it for no reason whatsoever. They work perfectly fine in Firefox disguised as Chrome.

            I agree. Firefox is “almost everything” for me. The example that comes to mind for it not working is WebSerial. That’s when the UC comes out. Also there was a brief period where the Papa John’s website checkout didn’t work in Firefox.
