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..

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.

[-] Angius@lemmy.world 34 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] kattenluik@feddit.nl 23 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

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

[-] csolisr@communities.azkware.net 13 points 2 years ago

Opera has unfortunately given up and switched to Chromium as its backend.

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago

At least its not chrome
