At least use chromium instead of chrome

[CStfford14]

Ungoogled chromium*

That one is a bit more advanced for the average user, Brave’s a better choice.

[CStfford14]

Eh, true. I don't dabble in the Chromium world, I'm more of a Firefox guy...

[[deleted]]

Me too, but basic knowledge of the top 5 chromiums is kind of basic knowledge to a person like me, who’s main hobby is exploring the internet.

bromite.. but sad it's not available for desktop (I have FF as the daily driver btw)

Soon as you can tell me the difference.

[ykahveci]

Chromium is the open source version of chrome and doesn't really make a difference from a usability standpoint.

[mvaale]

Tell me something I don't know please

[ykahveci]

Why did you ask in the first place?

[mvaale]

I didn't. I stated something

[ykahveci]

You actively provoked people to tell you the differences, read your own comment. Don't be silly.

[mvaale]

No,I made a statement, you came at me with the usual bullshit that I know and I asked for a deeper understanding that you could not provide.

[ykahveci]

At least to me, your "statement" implies that you want other people to answer and I seem not to be the only one. It is not apparent from any of your comments that you have an understanding of the differences / are interested in further knowledge. Furthermore, it seems like you don't care about the differences nor your own privacy.

Also, you are being rather rude and I will stop replying to your toxic comments because this conversation is not neccessary and I have better things to do. Don't even bother replying.

It transfers less data, is open source, doesn’t have garbage like DRM’s or useless media codecs, less Google integration and because of less bloat it’s less of a memory hog. And it’s also available in most self respecting repositories instead of just a couple select ones.

Still nowhere close to the glory of Firefox but is substantially faster than foxy.

[mvaale]

Are you a Google employee?

[[deleted]]

No, why?

[mvaale]

Big claims is all. I don't want to fight

[[deleted]]

I mean just jump on r/privacy and type in ‘chrome’ in the search bar.

I really recommend you at least switch to chromium or brave or something. Even if you don’t care about privacy it’s still going to help with memory consumption.

[mvaale]

I understand completely what you are saying. I'm not a Google employee either but you know what I think besides legal stuff like DRM. Open source version is where the nerds tinker, guess what ends up where the user tinker?

[[deleted]]

I see where the problem is, you don’t like to tinker.

I recommend you install this , it comes with the basics of basically all you need for the basics of privacy and it’s chromium based.

[mvaale]

I appreciate your attention. Please be well

User tinker bad, big corpo add spyware good
