so if Google is forced to sell #Chrome, what happens to #ChromeOS or the whole Chromebook line? would OpenAI or another company want to support the products for education? What stops everyone from switching to a different #chromium browser? This 50 billion dollar figure doesn't make any sense.

Anyone remember the time when Chrome was considered a resource hog (mostly because it had better isolation between tabs)
I feel #Firefox is worse now. I run #Chromium too but firefox does seem to deteriorate more than #Chromium
Having had firefox get killed by the OS I've just done a "swapoff -a; swapon -a" to make the system more responsive again 🙄

Which browsers do you use?

This is me, standing outside someone's proverbial office window, holding up a boom box, begging people who work on #Chromium audio features to fix the bug where if you pause a video (whether in-tab or floating) and switch windows, the volume gradually inches up from whatever you set

It is so jarring to start playing a video again and it blows out your ears/speakers/whatever, and I've experienced this across multiple Chromium browsers - Opera GX (I know, leave me alone) and now @Vivaldi

I did completely get rid of Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird on my personal systems now.

Firefox :firefox: was my main browser for many years and I used it since Netscape transformed into OSS Firefox 20 years ago.

But the Mozilla foundation nowadays doesn't do a good job in maintaining the software. Bad political choices, focus on what I consider the wrong priorities and falling more and more behind on the techical details.

I moved to the Chromium based Vivaldi :vivaldi: browser on all my systems. It's snappier, faster and way more reliable. Hardware acceleration does work out of the box under Linux and E-Mail is already built-in (although, I more often use KMail by KDE for that).

I'm highly satisfied with Vivaldi after using it for the past 6 months and never looked back.

I appreciate your genuine efforts, @jon, but #Vivaldi is still based on #Chromium… you are technically dependent on a browser engine maintained by #Google! What if all of a sudden they decide to close it? As improbable as it might sound, we are in an epoch of absolutely improbable stuff happening.

I thought about giving Vivaldi a try, but to be honest I was never interested in installing any browser that is not a #Firefox fork.

#FreeSoftware is not an extra added value, but something fundamentally relevant!

(I read your articles about the points I raised, but they are just technical and they gliss political and socio-economic aspects)

Lol, I was right into thinking there was something "off" about #ZorinOS years ago when I was considering which #Linux distro to migrate away from #Windows. Shitty, reactionary decisions like this would turn me off so badly and seriously make me question their judgement in maintaining their distro. If they actually care about "privacy" and have issues with #Firefox (or rather, #Mozilla), something like #LibreWolf would've been a more natural choice rather than moving to a #Chromium based browser, as if #Google needs a stronger dominance in their web presence - let alone #Brave, one of the (objectively) shadiest options of them all.
