What's the chromium equivalent to Librewolf? (lemmy.world)

Librewolf is great, but now some stupid sites require chromium-based browsers to work. E.g: Microsoft teams.

  • Ungoogled chromium? problem is that it's worse in fingerprinting compared to Brave. See: https://privacytests.org/
  • Brave: bloated and filled with unnecessary features.

Why isn't there a Brave fork yet that gets rid of the crypto junk?

I'm not sure about fingerprinting, but Vivaldi might be an option.

Vivaldi is a nice browser, but doesn't do too well when you look at the technicals. It is also bloated with side panels, email, calendar, notes, etc that I didn't want. Unfortunately Vivaldi and Brave are trying to out "extra" each other.

[–] Tiritibambix@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can't agree more. That is why I use Librewolf. But I keep Vivaldi as a backup browser when something is broken as it feels "less worse" than Brave.

@Tiritibambix @opt9 I am one of the people that jumped onto Vivaldi very early in 2016 right when it was created and after using it for so long I have to say Brave is better now if you're looking for practical functionality and speed. Although I don't see a point in using Vivaldi or Brave when Librewolf exists. Unless you need some specific thing in Vivaldi or their cross-platform sync between devices, since I'd personally trust them more with that than Firefox or Brave.

I have to say Brave is better now

That's note the first time they fuck up. They're banned from my computer.

It's not even open source. No thanks.

[–] Kulei@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@j2b @Tiritibambix It's open source with the exception of the proprietary UI.

@Kulei
Yes. It doesn't matter if part of it is OSS. If one part isn't, that's a black box, which is a huge red flag.

@jonte @j2b @Tiritibambix I agree. I don't know of a better alternative when it comes to Chromium other than Ungoogled Chromium, afterwards probably Vivaldi and Brave

I don't think something closed source counts
