I'm sorry, but if your web page doesnt load in Netscape Navigator v9.0.0.6, then I'm just not viewing it.

We talk a lot about "privacy based browsers," but we need more talk about Engine Diversity.
Using a chromium-based browser even a de-Googled one like ungoogled chromium or Vivaldi still cements Google's control over web standards.
If Firefox (gecko) dies, the web effectively becomes a proprietary app platform owned by an ad company.
I stick with Firefox not because it's always faster (it isn't), but because it's the only vote I have left against a monoculture.
Are you riding the gecko train for ideological reasons or has it actually become the better daily driver for you?

We built Orion to be your trusted daily companion for the web.
@kagihq if it's not #opensource how can we trust it even a little bit? I'm not being rhetorical here, you just have a website that says it's trustworthy that's the only difference between Orion and #googlechrome
How can you be MORE trustworthy than #firefox or #chromium ? Right now it's just... Words.
I'd like to believe you, but there's just no reason to.

What do you think of using Google in your life?
I use a Google Pixel 7 Pro at the moment, but I use GrapheneOS instead of OEM, and I think it is the best Android line of phones I have used so far. Their bootloader is lockable after installing custom operating systems which is much better than all other offers at the moment. The build quality, battery and design of the phone is solid as well. This phone has a lot of merits going for it which other Android phones are not replicating for the sake of a false sense of "security" or profits. I will appreciate Google for giving me a great phone to install GrapheneOS on, alongside Android for being a secure base for an operating system.
I appreciate the Chromium browser more than other browsers in the market. While Google Chrome is junk regarding user privacy, as well as shoving AI in your face, Chromium itself is actually pretty solid. It is also the most secure option, offering a malloc() implementation better than Firefox's mozmalloc, although not as secure as hardened_malloc, by GrapheneOS. Firefox is also implementing AI features into their browser, which leaves a bad taste in my mouth. MV2 is deprecated, sure, but you win more than you lose in security, as a lot of API features were exploitable. Chromium does a lot of good things, while Chrome gives the base itself a lot of bad blood. I would like to see what Servo can do, but I appreciate Google for making a secure browser.
I generally despise a lot of what Google offers, however. I feel like they lean heavily on the deception of convenience, where Google gives really good results while it uses your data for the sake of advertising. This applies with the Google Suite (Mail, Office, and Drive among others) as well. I would much rather use FOSS or nonprofit alternatives, such as Tutanota, or LibreOffice. Google is essentially the serpent from The Book of Genesis, selling you the benefit of their convenience for the sake of having your data stolen for their use. As such, I will choose not to follow Google convenience promise for my security.
Feel free to leave your opinions, and why I should consider other avenues rather than accepting a bit of Google in my life. As much as I love privacy, your privacy can't be guaranteed if there is no good security. Google may be known for piss-poor privacy, but their open source projects have a lot of security merits as well as good privacy. Do not use this as advice, but make your own conclusion.

@svenjacobs it's also a very good browser 😁 and I've grown to love the toolbar options... SO MANY TOOLBAR OPTIONS 😍
@konstantin @svenjacobs I still prefer #firefox :o
Two different issues yesterday with websites not working correctly (in one case, completely broken) in Librewolf. And it's not a Librewolf issue, it's a Firefox issue as I tested both sites in that browser as well. Changing user agents didn't help either, it's obviously a deeper issue than that. I had to install Chromium (yuck) to get both sites to work. This, combined with the increasingly broken Firefox/Mozilla Sync, is making me begrudgingly look into switching to a Chromium based browser.
I'm NOT going to use Google's account sync for so many obvious reasons, so there's no need to have Google's API available. That opens me up to a bunch of truly FOSS Chromium based options so I'm going to spend some time looking into them. I have to have *BSD compatibility as I spend most of my time in FreeBSD and OpenBSD these days (I'm posting this from a FreeBSD workstation).
With all of that said, any suggestions or advice? And no, I will never use Brave; even if it wasn't a crypto and AI scam disguised as a browser, its founder is a gross misogynist and Christian nationalist. No thank you.

Brash: Chromium Browser DoS Attack via document.title Exploitation
Brash is a critical vulnerability in Blink, the rendering engine that powers Google's Chromium-based browsers. It allows any Chromium browser to collapse in 15-60 seconds by exploiting an architectural flaw in how certain DOM operations are managed.
