bdonvrWhy are there many hundred Chromium based browsers, but seemingly very few Firefox based browsers?
IzzyYour searching on this may be skewed due to Firefox not being the equivalent of Chromium. Firefox is not actually the browser engine. Firefox is based on the browser engine called Gecko. There are actually a number of other Gecko based browsers they just aren’t very popular or are for niche use-cases.
Well sure, but I don’t think it changes my question much. There’s still so few active gecko-based browsers. And so many blink based.
neuromancerChromium is the more advanced of the two, and it was the biggest user base, there is no real upside to picking Gecko apart from Google = bad.
Everyone knows how to use Chome, if you base your browser on Chromium it’s easier to get people to use it because they already know how to use Chrome.
Blaze (he/him)Google = bad
Isn’t Google trying to embed DRM into webpages to avoid track blocking as we speak?
vd1nYeah but I save 0.000097 seconds per page load. I did that make and it will give me approximately 2.3568 additional seconds to the length of my life.
