Firefox is the way to go.
Give it time. Greed is greed, just a matter of time. Personally I’m back to use the old carrier pigeon. Kinda slow but probably still better than dialup
Edit: Either y’all don’t get this was a joke, or haven’t been alive long enough to watch your hero’s die.
Either way, fuck Google, sorry to rain on the parade
And soon, the carrier pigeon breeders will start tagging them with tracking chips..
Stooooop 😂😂😂
Or they just didn't think it was funny...

Absolutely not. I’ve seen what you people think is funny.
Carrier pigeons are still faster than the internet, tested again this year to prove it
Bandwidth, maybe, but that latency...
What's Opera based on? My friends mostly use Mac, so they all use Opera and Chrome, but I have gotten them to stop using Chrome.
Nearly every browser is Chromium-based. Additionally, Opera is Chinese-owned.
So? It isn't google. Also google and Mozilla have Asian employees so I guess you'll have to be not racist.
I do agree that the Chinese government is problematic though.
I'd like to point out that they said nothing about it being a bad thing and that all they did was say it was Chinese-owned, hence making your comment a pointless attack of nonsense.
Hooray pointless-nonsense-spew!
It uses Chromium as its base, so is essentially Chrome with fancy things attached to it. It uses Blink, Chrome/Chromium's rendering engine.
We need fewer Chromium-based browsers out there. The greater marketshare they have, the easier it will be for Google to push W3C and everyone else around to conform to their desired business model.
For example, when Google inevitably pushes WEI into Chrome, WebKit and Gecko (Safari-based and Firefox-based browsers) won't be affected at all.
If, however, 90% of all users end up on Blink (whether it's Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi, Edge, Brave, or whatever) then Google can do whatever they want to the web.
Chromium is owned by Google. That should be bad enough
Opera has unfortunately given up and switched to Chromium as its backend.
At least its not chrome
