Google sucks, uninstall Chromium stuff

Mozilla starts sucking and is also American, move to Librewolf fork as a half measure, it sucks.

Just wait for Ladybird bro

It's also American

Why can't Europeans into web engine dev?

I feel with open source projects I really don't care where its country of origin is.

It's not like they're more of an insane surreal shit show of delusional authoritarianism.

Oh theyre definitely a lot of that, but im not so sure about more. America's done a pretty good job closing the gap.

Europe is not golden. New european laws are getting more and more authoritarian.

You may end with a browser thar automatically ask you for a id to log all your browsing "for the children!"

[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 11 points 4 days ago

You're right but the lack of diversity and relying on a singular increasingly fascist country to lead the way on all social medua, search engines, and web engines isn't great either.

I know of Qwant/Ecosia teaming up for an independent web search engine soon(tm) at least.

And people could fork what exists if there were enough motivation I guess. I'm just venting haha.

Fuck every EU politician, that dreams of Palantir spy tech.

At this point it's on web developers, and they sure as hell are prioritizing chromium browsers, likely out of time constraint (and also fuckery at the behest of corporate overlords).

I went to book rooms tonight in Vegas at the Golden Nugget for the solar convention this week.

Firefox couldn't click through to the booking page. It worked for one room but not two. Chromium worked (ish), but also tried to say that it was almost double the rack rate than what the listing showed on Firefox.

I eventually went to kayak and despite glitches, booked the rooms, and still ended up paying more than I should have.

The Internet has become fundamentally broken due to sites trying their stupid fuckery of tracking and pricing shenanigans, let alone just trying to find basic information.

(Sorry I'm drunk and pissed off)

If i had been through that, i would also be drunk and pissed off.

I remember hearing a while ago a little bit about Servo. It seems to have been started by Mozilla, but is now managed by the Linux Foundation Europe.

[–] deus@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

In the monthly Ladybird update videos on youtube they compare its progress with other major browsers and Servo doesn't seem to be too far behind Ladybird itself.

What's wrong with Librewolf? I'm currently using Firefox and thinking about switching.

[–] lavendertea@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Don't know why OP doesn't like Librewolf, I've been using it for a few months and it's been great.

[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It's fine for now it's just beholden to upstream which isn't in a good state, not actually independent. I'm certainly being hyperbolic.

[–] lavendertea@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 days ago

Yes that's fair, wish there was a truly independent browser available.

[–] DannyMac@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago

Give it a go and let us know what you think! I used it for a while, and the biggest annoyance was trying to use YouTube with it where videos increasingly were more difficult to load for some reason. I blame Google for that, honestly.

[–] Zidane@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago

I personally had a weird bug where my bookmarks bar stopped showing anything at all. I never reported it so whoops my fault but after a month or two I switched to waterfox. Works fine so far

[–] KindnessIsPunk@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Could always try floorp as another half measure

[–] mimic_dev@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

That's where I am currently.. just really wish there was something truly separate from all the bs

[–] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

How does Librewolf suck?

And Servo is hosted by the Linux Foundation Europe btw.

[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 5 points 4 days ago

A few mentioned Servo now I'll look into it thanks!
