- parhamn 5y agoNo problem. It is. I an curious how you feel about that. The engine is a bit agnostic of the rendering layer (we will have a similarly powerful iOS app at some point too).
- PostThisTooFast 5y agoI generally oppose anything Chromium, because it's ushering in a return to the shitty days of "this site is best viewed in Microsoft Explorer." But... not sure what an independent developer is to do about that.
- KMnO4 5y agoFirefox is just as (or more) open source as Chromium. If I wanted to fork a browser that’s where I’d start.
- danielmeskin 5y agoI dislike it because chromium is almost a monoculture and Google controls it. I’m not diametrically opposed to chromium based browsers but I might be more hesitant to switch.
- ajdude 5y agoI was excited for a moment, when I saw that someone was working on a new browser, then I admit that I felt a bit disappointed to read this. I think we need more rendering engines out there, or at least wider distribution of the current ones to get chromium‘s market share down.
- FractalHQ 5y agoI like this if it gives me access to my chrome extensions- can’t live without some of them. Non-chromium is a non-starter because of this
