Chromium is made by google. And google define with the chromium engine the web standard. Search about the deprecation of the manifest v2, and will know how the google monopoly is not a good thing as well
Comment on Why you shouldn't use Brave Browser
protput@lemmy.world 10 months agoWhy don’t you like Chromium? I’m looking for a Chrome alternative that IS based on Chromium. I have tried Firefox countless of times. Last time I used it 2 months. But chrome is just imo better, more stable, more compatible. And I’m so used to having to do calculations in the address bar and having the result without having to press enter.

I’ve had zero compatibility issues with Firefox in the last, oh, 5 years? It was an issue a long time ago but not these days. If you absolutely, 100% must use a Chromium engine then Vivaldi isn’t too bad, but do your own research on their organization and see if it’s right for you.

That’s because at this point Google basically has a monopoly on the web. They’re pushing what they want, because they control most of the browser marketshare through not only Chrome but every other browser based on it. That’s also the main reason to not use Chromium-based browsers, because it’s helping Google strengthen their monopoly.

I know. But compatibility it not the only problem for me with Firefox.
