The Chrome team says they’re not going to pursue Web Integrity but…
it is piloting a new Android WebView Media Integrity API that’s “narrowly scoped, and only targets WebViews embedded in apps.”
They say its because the team “heard your feedback.” I’m sure that’s true, and I can wildly speculate that all the current anti-trust attention was a factor too.
Please, people, stop using Chromium-based browsers and handing Google a near-monopoly. Firefox is awesome and has even more privacy-oriented derivates.
Bope. I’ll continue using Brave, as it’s the best browser out there for my use case. Thank you for you concern. Firefox plainly sucks, thanks to Mozilla, and I tell this after having been a FF user, supporter and advocate for almost 20 years.
What sucks so much in FF?
Yes, performance used to be spotty but this is no longer the case.
UI/UX/Performance/Mobile app/Slow on Linux/Mozilla (the latter is the worst)
I’m not open to further debate. You asked, I replied. I preferred to migrate to a different browser and never look back, thanks to Mozilla.
Your info isn’t up to date
Yeah, sure /s.
Fuck Mozilla, really. I wouldn’t go back to FF even if it was the last browser on earth, as long as it gives oxygen to Mozilla. I’d like Moz Corp. to disappear.
If Mozilla were to disappear, Chromium web engine would have a true monopoly. Seeing how bad things are getting with their almost monopoly, I’d like to help avoid that.
I do understand this feeling. It’s how I felt when I first left Firefox for Chrome. I would check in every few years for about 10-15 years and see if I was still better off on Chrome, and I was. But then one time, it just wasn’t the case any more. I switched back to Firefox and now Chrome feels shitty, slow, and bloated to me.
I’ve been using FF (and Thunderbird) for about 5 years now on my dual core old laptop running Gentoo, and it’s always run pretty smooth. Especially when they switched to the Quantum web engine.
Of course. Everybody is having a great time on FF, that why this happens:

Yeah, surely Chrome/Google/$EandomEvilCorp are to blame, but Not Mozilla, the can’t do anything wrong, poor souls /s
I’m not arguing that people are switching to Firefox. I’m only saying that your argument about FF on Linux is just plain wrong.
I also prefer the UI/UX of FF over Chromium based browsers, but that’s very subjective of course.
