    This is a fucking childish take. If you don’t like what Google is doing with Chromium that’s one thing, but acting as if the code itself is evil is just straight-up magical thinking.

      The thing is, Google has so much influence on chromium that even if you don’t use Chrome, using chromium based browsers means you still help google maintain its monopoly on web. Only real alternatives are Firefox, Librewolf etc.

      Chromium is controlled by Google.

      Browsers down steam on Chromium will either pull from chromium or fork from it.

      They hold >75% of global browser market share.

      They make a change, like enforcing Web Environment Integrity API, you either comply or your competing chromium browser will.

        So will Firefox, you think they’re not making ad revenue and operating in a capitalist system to do so?

        Firefox ain’t fucking Tron, it doesn’t fight for the users.
