In the near future Firefox is just another Brave, Opera whatsoever. I am just curious how long some poor souls work their heart out in the engine room until the management inevitably forces the switch to chromium.
According to statcounter.com, Firefox is already on the level of Edge and Samsung Internet, with 3.45% market share globally. US: even slightly lower at 3.44%, down from 4.3% a year ago. Europe is still higher, Germany at 12%, France at 7%, but also falling rapidly.
Agreed. However, as you can tell from the downvotes, that will alienate a lot of people who believe that by using a Chromium fork, you're somehow giving over control of the web to Google. Which is ridiculous, as Google has lost control of the Chromium project due to Brave and Edge butting their ugly heads in. It's now the Linux kernel of web browsers. Prove me wrong.
Yeah, every Linux distro is just terrible now because of the Linux kernel monoculture.
Chromium is ~5 million lines of open source code. That's so unwieldy and impossible for anyone but Google or Microsoft to maintain right?
Meanwhile the Linux kernel is ~28 million lines.
Oh wait, there's also a Brave. Didn't they announce that they will not implement parts of Chromes manifest v3? Crazy how Google has so much control over open source code.
The future is now.
