Why does this topic keep coming up?
Anything. ๐ Chromium. ๐ Based. ๐ Is. ๐ Bad.
If you give a shit, you'll suck it up and change to Firefox or Mull. If your excuse for not doing so is UI based, your convenience is more important than your privacy.
Is there a better alternative on Android? I've tried switching to Firefox a few times but it feels way too slow. Scrolling and zooming (I do a lot of zooming on mobile) feels unusably choppy.
Looks smooth to me. In fact, as the only Android browser afaik that has support for ublock origin, Firefox is the only usable mobile option IMO.
Seconded.
Mull is a Firefox fork that's even more privacy oriented and still can sync with your FF settings.
Firefox typically is pretty smooth even on my tablet that has 2gb of ram and a quad core arm processor.
Shh, nobody mention that half your apps are probably rendered in chromium.
yeah I have 2 apps on my computer that use electron
discord and balena etcher
bros using ff๐คก. if you're not literally using a terminal based text only browser on linux from scratch on a vm whose bare metal is disconnected from the internet and in a faraday cage in an underground bunker, your convenience is more important than your privacy.

God you write like a obnoxious bitch

Begone, thot.
only useful part of this comment is it reminded me that I forgot I had qutebrowser installed
