Agreed, like what do chromium based browsers really have over Firefox? Real question.

It works with Google Cloud's dashboard lol, I swear they broke it in Firefox on purpose.

But seriously it's like the IE days, some sites are designed with one target in mind and that target is now Chrome instead of IE, partly because the Chromium engine is now the de facto one to embed and rebrand. So sometimes you just have to use Chrome.

However I use Firefox 99% of the time myself and only use Chrome when needed (mostly when managing my Google compute engine VMs, sigh)

I've been using Brave for a few years now on my desktop and after reading the threads lately about it, I'd like to switch. I don't seem to have the issues other users have, but I don't want to use it based on the CEO's views on some things.

I've always had Firefox installed with uBlock Origin and I use it occasionally. One of the things Chromium based browsers have is built-in tab grouping. I know there are extensions and I've only tried Simple Tab Groups but it didn't behave how I was expecting it to behave, which is like how Chromium handles it.

So far that's the only thing I've noticed.

Google integration. That’s all. Anything else is anecdotal, is ill-informed hubris or is a combination of both.
