Fun fact, did you know that google deliberately makes their products run worse on browsers like Firefox so users will think the browsers are slow? Please support Firefox, it's the only real browser not based on Googles technology (like Brave is), and it's actively fighting Google's monopoly on web browsing.

Firefox is based. Glad I switched over recently.

Librewolf is a fork of Firefox, and is absolutely better for privacy and security; way more based than Firefox, you should check it out m8 :)

Using LibreWolf right now! The experience is smooth most of the time, although you do need to switch to Firefox when you need to view DRM-controlled content (like when participating an online course, for example).

Yeah DRM content is why I'm on Firefox instead of Librewolf. I may look into hardening FF in the near future

User experience is actually better if you're not using chrome since you won't be subject to Google's a/b tests

duckduckgo browser is also not chromium

[-] Dabjulmaros@reddthat.com 5 points 1 year ago

duckduckgo browser is just a webview2 wrapper, which is a edge wrapper, which is just a chromium wrapper, which is........

Sorry to disappoint you but it does. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DuckDuckGo if you check out the Browser section, it literally says DDG browser is using Blink, which is the Chromium engine.

I know it's easy to claim that, but is there any actual proof of that?
