Chromium really?
After the whole debacle of manifest v3 they're really choosing Chromium of all browsers to develop on?
Mozilla has made some controversial decisions but surely Firefox would be the better decision for the Linux and FOSS ecosystem.
Even better why not Librewolf?
Seeing this news makes me sad as there are better options available and the Linux foundation chose the worst one out of all of them.
Ironically I also just saw this here on the fediverse: Google loses in court, faces trial for collecting data on users who opted out
Or servo. Literally anything but chrome man.
@Static_Rocket@lemmy.world and @neblem@lemmy.world thanks for mentioning Servo👍
I didn't know about that rust-based alternative until now and I agree; even Servo would've been a better choice than Chromium.
I'm very happy Servo exists but if they want, like, a working browser, it's no wonder they chose Chromium.
For comparison, from a recent Servo blogpost: "Servo can now run Discord well enough to log in and read messages, though you can’t send messages yet. [...] We now support enough of XPath to get htmx working.".
Servo has been in development for 7+ years and it's still not able to render modern web. Maybe it never will, since it's impossible to build a new web browser.
