I'm just confused as to what's wrong with Ungoogled Chromium. ~Cherri permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] HKayn@dormi.zone 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) There's really nothing wrong with it. The only thing that Firefox enthusiasts are concerned about is that you contribute to the Chromium monopoly by using Ungoogled Chromium. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ArcticCircleSystem@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago I wouldn't consider myself a Firefox enthusiast, but there is one other major thing I'm concerned about with Chromium, and that's the Chrome Web Store's massive malware problem. Practically every month there's some story about a bunch of malware being found on the store. Even accounting for the smaller userbase Firefox-based browsers have, it's incredibly rare to see such stories about AMO. When they do come out, Mozilla tends to lay down the banhammer faster than Google does. CWS also had a pretty big problem with survey scams in the past, though I'm not sure about now. And if you look through AMO, one major difference you will notice is a distinct lack of all those sketchy search hijacking new tab extensions that seem to pop up on CWS constantly. Simply put, it appears Google's review process for extensions on CWS is practically non-existent, while Mozilla's is much more stringent. ~Cherri permalink fedilink source parent
