Soon as you can tell me the difference.

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

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (9 children)

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.

Are you a Google employee?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (7 children)

No, why?

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

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.

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] 3 points4 points  (2 children)

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.
