All these Chromium forks are placebo. Google spends hundreds of millions on Chromium development.

>>108783982
you are off by an magnitude.
hundreds of millions is just enough for chromium forks like edge or brave.

>>108782768
don't know what that is. also don't care.

- It is easy to use a Brave debloat script on Windows, and Brave Origin is free on Linux.

- You need to figure out how to make third party tools work with Helium, for features like sync, password management, translations, and two-factor authentication.

- Auto-update is broken on Windows, and they don't know how to fix it.

- No official mobile version.

- No winevine/DRM (needs approval from Google; either be a real company rather than a hobby project by a couple of people, or pay a middleman thousand of dollars to accept legal liability on the browser's behalf), preventing use of various official streaming services (Netflix, Spotify, Crunchyroll, etc.). Not bypassable in Windows, and the Linux workarounds are not included by default.

- Not stable, recent, and by a very small team. You can expect to run into bugs, and the project could get abandoned.

browser made by two literal who gay young russians that relies on patches made by other browsers

not a bad browser but whats the point when brave exists, really.
>>108784836
i agree with everything but
>password management
this is good actually, just use bitwarden which is better and also free. specially if you need to sync stuff between devices

>Auto-update is broken on Windows
just use winget
>>
>>108784895
>specially if you need to sync stuff between devices
or you could use a chromium-based browser with working sync unlike brave

>>108782768
Chromium-based browsers don't have a menubar. I don't want fucking iPad UX on my desktop web browser; give me a menubar or I'll stick with Firefox.
>>
>>108785023
use a real os like macos that have a global menu bar for every application
>>
>>108785089
KDE lets you have that, but that's also not a solution because the menubar isn't part of the window; I don't want to have to click on a window first then yank my mouse to the top of the screen before I can access the menubar.
>>
>>108785023
what a waste of space.
buttons next to the adress bar is the only solution that makes sense.
>>
>>108785098
It's a whole 31 pixels lmao. I'd rather have an easily-readable menubar than whatever you just proposed.

because i'm not a old person larping as a young person, trying to peddle the latest copeware by referencing a 10+ year old tiktok meme.

I'm curious how much it actually cost to make/maintain Chrome?

Source on russianness?
>>
>>108782768
So many of these browser forks all do this faggy zen thing. I want a browser that gives me epilepsy when I open it.

>>108785743
to be fair, google also hates non-safari browsers and sets fucking arial as the font. only safari gets proper helvetica neue.
>>
>>108782768
Xenon is much better to be on =)
Of course, in terms of chemical inertness, Helium reigns supreme over pretty much anything (aside from Neon)

thanks, but i'm sticking with firefox

>>108782780
Why use Ad Nauseum when UBO exists?
>>
>>108785743
I'd love to use Safari, trust me, but for some reasons there is a memory leak making it unusable for me.
>>
>>108788418
To cost them money
>>
>>108790083
I used to use it but it had too many bugs and the updates were too slow.
>>
>>108782768
How many times are we going to do this, trying to fork an actively hostine project that desperately wants to be shitty and has infinite resources, an average foss developer can reverse so much cancer.
>>
>>108785023
it's not just the menu bar, I love the bookmarks toolbar. Not just the toolbar, but especially the fact that I can drag tabs onto it, and it automatically bookmarks the tab. Works with multiple tabs. Hell I can even drag the url in the address bar onto the bookmark toolbar and it bookmarks.

Fuck chrome.. there's no way for this to work, can't even re-arrange the toolbar.
>>
>>108785023
you don't need that
>>
>>108790188
Fuck off ebassi.
>>108790175
This is what pisses me off most about Chromium: when you drag a tab, it INSTANTLY makes it into its own window. I want to drag the tab into my fucking bookmarks toolbar!
