Well, actually ... Ungoogled Chromium
Edit: formatting
Ungoogled or not, chromium is still a problem. It has become the defacto render engine, and Google is pulling the same shit as MS did with IE.
Some day someone is gonna have to explain this take to me.
Standards for the web are a good thing. Websites being slightly different to straight up breaking depending on what browser you use is an awful user experience.
I see nothing wrong with everyone defaulting to blink and v8. Makes the web better for everyone be it users or developers.
Chromium is open source! It feels like people's blind hatred / paranoia of big tech makes people reject it on principle more than anything.
They are trying to develope enough dependency on them that they could stop being open source and the majority of browsers and websites dependent on their development just fold and allow google to control the internet.
Big companies only let stuff be open source in order to rugpull it if and when it would allow them to be successfully anticompetitive.
