Google is now rolling out a system where Chrome directly tracks your activity and shares its summary with advertisers.
Also Firefox is faster as of like two months ago.
It takes five minutes to switch browsers, and the difference is so little that you’ll often forget you did it.
spacebar heating ass reason to use chromium
Accessibility for people who have a hard time regularly switching between their keyboard and mouse is not a spacebar heating like reason.
If it were, there would be a functional Firefox alternative that I’m unaware of. You don’t seem to know of one either. The moment such a fork exists I’ll switch, but my wrists are too fucked up to use a mouse constantly.
Anyway, apparently qutebrowser can optionally use webkit instead of the chromium based qtwebengine so do that I guess.
Webkit implementation is unmaintained and insecure, developer recommends against it. The comic is about users or developers relying on buggy or otherwise bad behavior for bad reasons - ie, extension developers mad about Firefox switching to a far more secure framework for extensions when their own extension is totally possible to implement without being able to monitor all web activity without even notifying the user, because they got used to doing it a bad way that is no longer possible. That’s not really comparable to Firefox just lacking an accessibility option.
Trust me, I miss using proper extensions and not just greasemonkey scripts, I’ve wanted such a fork for years, but the only other reasonable alternative is Vieb which is fucking Electron based.
GOOD reference
