Well you do use files named chrome.css, as Firefox based browsers have their style css in that.
Fun fact: Unrelated to the browser of the same name, it's the "window chrome" of the browser
The browser that manages to somehow get even more spyware than chrome?
Yes ok my mistake, despite * I am of course not talking about files with e.g. .css extension but only the browsers with chrome* as name. :)
Edit: Above all, I don't want to imply that Firefox and co don't use system resources just as wastefully. But they are still the better choice.
Yep, obviously, was just a joke. But technically, eg. steam is also chromium-based (which explains why it's shit)
It's just a rat's tail like so many other things.
I miss opera with own engine
Presto was nice. But I guess being quite strict about standards was just too much to handle for the chrome fanboy developers.
There's so many features that Opera had that still aren't widespread in other browsers. The closest equivalent these days is Vivaldi, although I don't like that it's Chromium-based.
Valve has proven they will go to great lengths to utterly thwart would-be monopolies that threaten PC gaming (the real reason proton exists). We just need to find a way to convince them that Google is a threat too.
I just want better APIs. Users will do the rest. A native client, still steam-style, but made in QT. Maybe not the store etc., but display that via an external browser or inline firefox somehow.
