Should I use chromium based browsers or firefox? (lemm.ee)

Chromium has better features, but with google announcing its plan to 'drm the internet' I 'm not sure if it'd be a good idea.

Chromium browsers have only 1 feature I need: access to the Chromecast API. I have 3, Firefox can't connect to them and the last 2-3 times I tried the listed 3rd party methods (fx bridge, etc), I could never get it to work.

Were it not for that, I'd be back on Firefox.

That's part of why I avoided getting new Chromecast devices ๐Ÿ˜„

well? what do you have? I would love to flush my chromecasts but they're so useful.

If you ever find one let me know because I'm in the exact same boat as you. Casting videos to my TV is so damn convenient
