I use it a lot too. Which is why this is a must have feature for any attempt at changing my main browser.

:blobcatnotlikethis: Bro, are you serious?

@nonetrix@neckbeard.xyz @cowanon @nil
Because I need to be able to continue browsing from one device to another.

@cowanon @nonetrix@neckbeard.xyz @nil
I've tried Firefox. Multiple times. On desktop it doesn't really add anything, and on Android, I've found that anything not Chromium is horrible at actually integrating with the system. I'd like that if I click on a Youtube link in the browser, that it actually opens with NewPipe for instance. Firefox is shit for that.

@nonetrix@neckbeard.xyz @cowanon @nil
Because it's something I need. Why do you care?

@cowanon @nonetrix@neckbeard.xyz @nil
Tried it. Except for different, privacy focused, default settings, didn't really have anything above a regular Chromium.

Seriously, why the fuck is everyone trying to get me away from the one browser that works for me, that isn't Chrome, Brave or shitty Firefox?

@cowanon @nonetrix@neckbeard.xyz @nil
I have Bromite on an old rooted phone as a replacement for the default WebView. But as a regular browser I'd still need something that syncs with PC.

I knew this would fucking happen... mob justice yet again. Fuck the world... These psychos are never satisfied until it's a tooth, eye, and hand for an eye.

@nil @nonetrix@neckbeard.xyz
It is usable enough for most people I guess. But as I see it, it's a broken version of Chrome. I've been more satisfied with close-source forks of it than Chromium itself.

@nil @nonetrix@neckbeard.xyz
So you're saying that the only reason I should pick an open source software vs a refined version of that open source project is a label? Sorry, that's not gonna be enough for me.
If I have to choose between LibreOffice and Microsoft Office, sure I'll choose LibreOffice, because it's a completely different code. But if I had to choose between original LibreOffice and a fork (let's call it PaidOffice) that was no longer open-source, but was significantly better, the open-source label by itself won't convince me to not switch to PaidOffice.

And the reason I'm calling it just a label, is because I don't have the expertise to actually audit the code myself or to compile the browser from the audited code. So for me, there's not gonna be a big difference between trusting random people that I don't know to check Chromium's source code, and trusting the devs at Vivaldi.

@nonetrix@neckbeard.xyz
People keep telling me this, and I keep finding that it's just not the case for me. This combined with a few other strange little things Firefox does out of the box and how it's Android version works, makes it a shit browser. Sorry, not sorry.

@nil @nonetrix@neckbeard.xyz
What's the big difference between Chromium and a Chromium based browser that is actually polished, works on Android too, actually gives me bookmark sync etc.

@nonetrix@neckbeard.xyz
There is no decent open source browser. :blobshrug:

@nonetrix@neckbeard.xyz
If things keep going like that after a restart, it might not be KDE.
Sometimes I'm getting glitches like that with my browser Vivaldi, but they get fixed after I close and reopen it.

Don't. Just don't. I've had a bad day. And no, I don't want to talk about it.

Here, you'll probably enjoy this thread more than I do @nonetrix@neckbeard.xyz

@TheMadPirate @coolboymew
Me: hmm... it probably involves shit
*looks it up*
*first definition*
Me: that's nothing like what I expected. It's quite tame.
*looks at all the other entries*
Me: ooooh... so I was right after all. It does involve shit. Man, that first definition is wrong as hell.

@SteveTheDragon
I know this is a joke, I know it's meant to mock certain people, but I still feel the need to slap someone silly after reading it.
