Wait STEAM AND DISCORD ARE CHROMIUM?

[-] [email protected] 71 points 2 years ago

Yep, just like slack, spotify, and anything else looking fancy while wasting few gigs of ram to just open. They're built on electron, which is practically chrome without tabs.

I wish they could bring back mozilla prism. Like all this electron web app shit is popular, so we don't we use the faster and more efficient browser engine and use gecko!

Speaking of Mozilla, the project they dropped and fired all of their employees working on it all while giving CEO a million dollar raise, the same one that provided most of the performance improvements in the Quantum update, Servo is targetting being an embedded solution. https://floss.social/@servo/110780173168763670

Nice, I didn't know Servo was still being developed!

This whole Chromium fiasco is partially Mozilla's fault, they let Google grab the embedded browser monopoly by making Firefox hard to componentize and letting Electron take all the market share. No competition.

Do I still use chromium when I visit the steam website via firefox?

[-] [email protected] 39 points 2 years ago

No, its the steam app that runs on Chromium.
