If Google does push web DRM through, edge will surely adopt it. The best time to switch is now and there will no second best time if they actually do it.
That’s fine but the point of the post is that you have to use a non chromium browser to avoid wei. Once it’s implemented it’s likely that edge and others will have to implement it too.
It would be a monumental effort for smaller browsers to keep chromium extensions working, while the rest of the ecosystem moves to the new APIs. The only way that could work is if they all fork chromium and base their browsers on this new fork, and even then it’s not guaranteed to develop a real ecosystem of plugins since chrome has more users than all of those other chromium browsers combined.
So yeah you have to use Firefox if you want to avoid that, at least for now.
How is there no way? Yes, there is. Google implements it in the original, websites start requiring it, all of those browsers that didn’t implement it will be denied from access to websites. The end.
Lmfao. Bro edge is chromium my guy. You just switched from one skin to another is all. It’s all the same under the hood🤣
They are definitely not all the same, and Vivaldi is a fantastic example of that. Just because it’s Chromium-based doesn’t mean it’s chock full of bullshit and a Chrome reskin, it just means that it most likely is. Vivaldi definitely isn’t.
These are not conclusions based on the other half, these are distinct facts. Also, if not for this, why would a chromium fork named “ungoogled chromium” exist?
Always amazing how much people can know without actually „getting it“. Just use firefox. You don’t get anything for „winning“ on a technicality. Just leave it be.
It’s a fallacy. Why would I stop drinking alcohol, why would I stop smoking, why would I stop sunbathing without protection? Why would I leave the titanic? It is unsinkable. It works for you because you haven’t gotten to the bullet in the chamber yet.
The people here are trying to tell you that it’s not safe and that it will only get worse. And in opposition to your arguments, these facts are based on professional opinions and the known business practices of the companies these products are associated with.
I know you have your opinion but an opinion is not your personality. You can let go of it without ruining your life, again in opposition to keeping it and actually harming yourself, either financially or otherwise.
Why is it so hard to trust people who do this stuff for a living?
It ruins the internet. Google controls Chromium, if most browsers are Chromium-based, that means those browsers will eventually get whatever Google implements which means other browsers are forced to implement them or you can get broken websites.
As Chromium monopolizes the market they’re able to push anti-user updates because sites don’t care. It’s down to Firefox or Chromium-based browsers. Firefox is basically the only thing that’s kept Chrome from straight up removing adblocking capability and the like.
Correct. We would not even be here if corporations could be trusted. Everyone needs to get this somehow. Federation (open source project development is kind of federated as well) is the key. Actually, we‘re having the same oppressive authoritarianism that gave birth to federated states. Looks like a pattern.
Have you tried the one recently implemented in Firefox? I’m not sure about Edge, but it’s much better than Chrome’s. I rarely have to use anything else.
I don’t care what browser you use
Also I like Edge. It works great and Google can kiss my butt

Edge is based off chromium, same “engine” that powers Chrome. As most browsers are.
Yeah, it’s basically chrome without the bloat, less spying, and without the prohibition on ad blockers
Don’t need that if you make the OS.

Thats what you get when you don’t care about single entities controlling the market.

No, actually you are kissing googles but every day.

Yes. It’s chromium. It’s based on the open source base engine for Chrome. Which means, it has all the benefits of Chrome without the Google bullshit.
Chromium is not free of Google’s bullshit. Chromium development is under direct control of Google.

Really, dude? Using edge is like being a drunk? Lmao ok
I‘m glad you see that there are no good argument against privacy and keeping away from giant corporations.

from the first sentence on the wikipedia page: Chromium is a free and open-source web browser project, mainly developed and maintained by Google.
How big is your truck?

Correct. The real problem is allowing monopolies in the first place.
Microsoft is at least as bad as Google and has been for quite a bit longer.

Based ai feeder
That’s one of the smaller problems…
Edge does have a nice pdf reader
The proverbial ice cram sticker on the windowless truck.

Not much, but I don’t see a full markup feature. That’s what I really like about edge.
