I hear people say Chromium is bad for the web all the time but they all seem to think that Chromium = Chrome.

Okay, would you like to elaborate beyond what I just said?
Because using Chromium and Chromium-based browsers reinforces Chrome's market share dominance which will harm comparability as more and more sites will only be tested against Chrome and in many cases refuse to serve pages to other browsers without user agent string fuckery.
It also cultivates dependence on Google for the extension ecosystem, etc
That is not my fault. 99% of those people are just using Chrome. I'm not going to use another browser that offers a degraded experience just to try to right the wrongs of the world. That is not my responsibility. When even a modicum of people start giving a shit about things like web standards, I will too.
Firefox is entirely funded by Google, telemetry and ad networks also, so frankly I'm not sure they're any better.

What? Chromium is open source. That's how Chromium-based browsers even exist.

Uhhhh no you don't see anything. I didn't say anything like that.
And they do the former.
So I ask again, what's the problem?

If you're just going to blatantly and plainly lie about what I said, where everyone can see it, I'm not going to continue engaging with you. Bye now ๐

Which in no way resembles "open source is inherently good", but thank you for reading my comments back to me.
