If I'm still using degoogled chromium.. Am I still supporting Google? :(

[–] elscallr@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Yes. You're still giving a Chromium based browser market share. Pretty much the only non Chromium browser is Firefox

[–] ducky@gearheads.social 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well yes: it's essentially Chromium, which the majority of code comes from Google

What about brave? Yes its Chromium based as every browser except firefox, but modified

[–] fatalicus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, it is still chromium.

In statistics, Brave counts as chromium.

Which is still chromium, just removed any dependencies on google.

Google makes Chromium, and enev "ungoogled-chromium" will register as chromium in statistics.

That is what this thread of comments started with...
