_Or any forks._
|
|
|
|
Chromium, the most popular browser. Over 60% of the Internet
|
|
uses Chromium. The 3rd most popular browser is Microsoft Edge,
|
|
based on Chromium, at 5%.
|
|
|
|
## "Vanilla" Chromium
|
|
|
|
### Monopolies
|
|
|
|
As stated above, Chrome has a monopoly in web browsers. Not much
|
|
more needs to be said here, other than that obviously monopolies
|
|
are bad.
|
|
|
|
### Privacy
|
|
|
|
Google is the largest tracking company in the world. They have
|
|
billions of dollars, and a lot of that is invested into tracking
|
|
users. Something like ungoogled-chromium can't possibly remove
|
|
_every_ single tracker in Chromium, it's just too big of a
|
|
codebase.
|
|
|
|
### Security
|
|
|
|
Using Chrome would provide more security than a fork, but that
|
|
would significantly decrease privacy. Forks of Chromium like
|
|
Thorium etc have delayed updates, so it takes longer to get
|
|
critical security fixes.
|
|
|
|
## Microsoft Edge
|
|
|
|
It's in the title.
|
|
|
|
## Other forks
|
|
|
|
Most other forks are irrelavant in the grand scheme of things.
|
|
The above applies.
