I am specifically waiting for this to happen so I can be part of the flood to Firefox when they finally throw the switch.

Why wait?

Also, Brave browser exists for those who are particularly attached to chromium.

I'm not touching brave with a 10 ft pole but thanks for your advertisement

I'm just learning about what all the fuss around Brave is. But I'd be interested to hear how Google seems to be the ethical choice for a daily driver browser currently. It's obviously fine to not want to use Brave, but how is it the inferior choice when compared to Chrome (or even considered a sidegrade)? Even with all the issues mentioned I'd still recommend it as the lesser of the 2 evils compared to Chrome.

No one is saying Chrome is the ethical choice, why are you reducing this to a 2 options choice?

I'm not.

No one is saying Chrome is the ethical choice

The commenter I'm replaying to implies they're using Chrome primarily, and then reacted negatively to the mention of Brave. I'm asking how Chrome use is the acceptable choice and Brave is seemingly so bad in comparison.

[โ€“] ivn@jlai.lu 7 points 5 months ago

I don't think the commenter you are replying to is arguing that chrome is a better choice. He or she knows it's bad but didn't make the change out of lazyness (no offence). Change has a cost, especially if it implies changing habits. So people will just delay or avoid them.

obviously, but when you have the option of just, not using chrome at all, why would you use anything chromium based to begin with, google is literally the problem here lmao

[โ€“] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 5 months ago

brave is literally just chromium, it solves none of the fundamental problems other than being like, reasonably well built.

It's chrome, but if it didnt't try and kill you ever update. That's the difference.

I could see this as part of a metrics thing - if Google sees a big drop in users right after the rollout, it's harder to brush it under the rug as having no correlation.

Or perhaps try ungoogled chrome if you enjoy Chrome.
