      I realize Firefox business practices aren’t total garbage for humanity and that they are constantly working to improve it on like .1% budget of Google. And that they are the only real competition which keeps us in a situation where we actually have a choice in browsers. So yeah let’s only care about the technical aspects, or something

      Chromium had better Linux support for things like HW-accelerated decoding than Firefox?

      Source? Experienced the exact opposite, especially on Wayland.

          What the heck are you talking about? Chromium is one of the hardest packages to build and it takes forever. Firefox has FAR fewer dependencies. Chromium’s privacy enhancements are a joke.

          Chromium is not stripped down at all, just use googerteller and see. It contacts Google everywhere, on the password list, on the account list, in some settings pages, and just randomly sometimes.

          It is very crazy. And also it is not fingerprint resistant at all.

          I am using all flag settings, policies and GUI settings possibly existing and it still is like that. So no, it is not the same privacy-wise.

              For Firefox I am either using Librewolf or Arkenfox user.js

              But as Librewolf has a good CI/CD system I think I will switch to that. Problem is they are not active at all, while the arkenfox guy is very active.

              For Chromium I use the secureblue policies in /usr/etc/chromium/policies/managed
