I hope not! Firefox FTW!
- Or duckduckgo. Or Brave. Or Opera. Or Tor.
  I have yet to try the last two. I really enjoy duckduckgo on my phone, but I know there was some controversy. I guess I’m lazy but I love the fire button that burns away all your open tabs and history in one click. Started using Brave recently and I kind of enjoy how it reports how much stuff its blocked and the breakdown of what it all is. I have had no noticeable issues with either one.
  
  ddg,brave and opera are chromium based.

*Badly outdated Chrome with a bunch of critical vulnerabilities.
Don't forget every Electron app comes with its own Chrome.
- Last time I checked the version Electron used by Discord was severely out of date causing several issues that had been solved months ago upstream. That’s the fault of Discord, not Electron but there are several issues with Chromium that I have to deal with on every Electron app I use. Compose sequences are still partially broken. I reported it at Chromium but they responded with a video of them testing it on Windows (not with a VM), said they couldn’t reproduce the issue (with a Linux specific input method?!) and then marked it as unreproducible.
  
  Wait, you're telling me that Discord is probably still vulnerable to the Webp RCE vulnerability?
  
  Problem is, for any somewhat big project (like discord) updating Electron without something breaking is a nightmarishly complex venture as Electron doesn't seem to care about backwards compatibility.
- And they thought snaps were dumb
- Steam is using CEF v85 (not Electron but still). Should have gone "please be aware to not visit even slightly shady websites until we update it" but instead went "oh you must like security, so we announce that we will drop Windows 7/8 support in half a year (because ~~CEF~~ Microsoft doesn't support it anymore) so you could play your games more securely".

Y'all, there's a full video, this single image doesn't do it justice: https://birdbutt.com/@barnibu/110995778137311940
- Lol edge at the end got me
- The fact that the frame rate of the camera pan doesn't match up with the frame rate of the props is kinda nauseating ngl

Screw chromium! All my homies hate chromium!
- Please don't screw chromium, you might cut yourself on the edges.
  
  😳 thanks for the heads up. Because if I’m gonna cut myself down there I’m gonna scream like I’m in a Vivaldi Opera. And you know me — I was definitely Brave enough to have some Steamy “Noah get the Ark” action with it, so you literally saved me.
  BTW I heard that Chrome is bad for the environment because it’s so resource intensive. That’s why me and car manufacturers are getting rid of it.
  Plus I hate how it looks and feels. I would much rather get stranded in a Safari than have to stand how chrome looks.
- It is not clear from this pictures whether these drums are finger size or building size. Need more perspective!
  
  Least scuffed Aliexpress experience
  
  This could actually be a render, WTF is that surface they're on. They look like the way sheet metal comes from a foundry, though, in which case they'd be person sized.

'Ate chrome
'Ate system d
'Ate GNOME (not racist just don't like it)
Love me firefox
Love me openrc
Love me TTY and DWM
Love me Gentoo
- wayland is the future old man
  
  Wayland can't even remap keys to other characters.
  
  They make a few Wayland DWMs
- Fellow gentoo user
  
  Flex your makeopts jobs amount. I've got 30.
- Simple as
- I want to get better at using TUIs and all the lot of lighter-weight software, but I've quite frankly been too stupid to learn it.
  I downloaded Gentoo onto an old Chromebook with the Mr Chromebox script. Currently am trying to make it into a sandbox for me to learn more about how init systems, compilers, and other lower level OS details.
  Other than reading the Wikis, are there any projects that you'd suggest to increase one's ability in those realms? Thanks!
  
  Really what got me to learn to use the terminal more was downloading systems without tons of gui apps. Most base systems will be like that. In general my only gui apps are a file browser, web browser, and audio tools. Debian, arch, gentoo, nix. Avoid stuff like mint or endeavour if you want to force yourself into learning the terminal. The more you use it, the better you'll get. Using gui apps isn't bad, sometimes it just works better for specific actions. But knowing how to use the terminal helps for when nothing else works.
- Oh hi, Cave :D

Future?, we basically living it already
- The future is now, old man!
- Aren't we not living in the future by construction?

Leave me in the "past" with my gtk4 applications please.
- Isn't that Webkit as well? lol
  
  Webkit's not chrome, tho, not even close
  
  I’ve always wondered how much that slows down GTK compared to a more native version to draw stuff…

Is there a Firefox powered framework like electron?
- gluonjs could be an alternative. IIRC there's another framework similar to Electron that uses native system WebView for rendering and Rust for interfacing directly with the OS, the name escapes me for the moment though.
  Edit: I remembered the name! It's Tauri
  
  NeutralinoJS is an option similar to Tauri. You don't need to bundle a whole fucking browser just to run a couple of webpages with some javascript.

Cyberpunk 2077 proves this to be true.

All refs load into ChRome.

It was the best scene in Mad Max.
- Witness me!
  
  I'll see you in Valhalla!

the walls are also covered with green slime
- no, they always do that
