Chrome is a bag of shit anyway, easy jump

[–] venoft 29 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (5 children)

Chromium, not chrome. Which means also Brave, Edge, Opera, Vivaldi and a lot more. Basically only Firefox and Safari are left as the big non-chromium ones.

But that's not the worst of it. Even if you tear out this code, more and more websites will be built that rely on it. Which means Firefox etc also need to include it to keep functioning.

If WebKit and Mozilla put up enough fight. It will not be the standard.

Well, you can’t say not chrome because it does include chrome, yes, it extends to other browsers using the same codebase, I understand I’m well versed. Either which way, fuck google

Isn‘t Safari‘s WebKit the origin of Chromium‘s Blink 😉

Not saying you don't realize, but Safari already has this tech. They call it Personal Access Tokens.

Well, that's the worst case scenario. I hope that Brave will fork Chromium and leave the WEI out. Brave prides itself on being the no nonsense browser ...

Brave is a PoS. They are not looking out for you

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Sorry, what is PoS? I'm using Brave just shortly but it appears to be concerned with privacy and ad-blocking - more than what Firefox does.
