It's from Google. Google makes >90 % of its money from advertisement/selling your personal data to advertisers. The privacy statement even says that they will collect your data. If you're fine with it, OK, I am not.

I'm sure you'd disagree with Firefox. So I'll pick Chromium, no botnet (maybe), no privacy issues, open source.

I've tried several options but none of them block youtube video ads on chrome.

Also it's probably possible as I haven't made the attempt, but on firefox it's really easy to download flash and html 5 video from the same.

Pretty much the only thing holding me back from switching, op.

Okay I admit that I love Webp but how the fuck can you be a Webp "shill"? It's an open source format with no royalty fees whatsoever. Why the fuck would google pay me to shill Webp? Chrome and it's derivatives are not the only browsers that play Webp you know (see Brave).

can we stop the "google selling your personal data" meme?
Selling the data they've collected about you is the stupidest thing google could do. It's like selling money - for less money. Google has more interest in protecting your data (the data they've collected about you) than yourself (otherwise google wouldn't have it in the first place)
Google being the only company having your data is a HUGE advantage in the advertising industry. Google doesn't sell your data, Google sells your money (indirectly by making you buy stuff you see in an ad, that was tailored for you, so you'd be more likely to buy).
Google would NEVER sell your data.

The UI has improved a bit lately but it's still rather plain and boring without much room for customisation.
Themes are pathetic attempts at offering some degree of customisation.
You don't even have any option to customise the shape of your tabs.
What's the point of that sound icon on a tab which plays audio if you can't click it to mute the tab? Maybe it should become invisible if the number of tabs make each tab width too narrow.
I got lots of ideas but now I'm writing on a phone in the bathroom so I don't feel like typing a lot.

what browser allows that?

I like Google's sync feature though, I like having my bookmarks both on my computer and phone, plus if I'm reading something on my computer and I need to leave the house I can pick up where I left off on my phone.

It also has shit performance and no support for webp.
>>
>>55067137
Hey I'm not advocating Firefox, just answering your question.
>shit performance
Nice meme
>no support for webp
So fucking what? Nobody uses it anywhere.
>>
>>55067174
firefox has pretty bad performance. If you use some canvas rendering or movement of many divs (I currently have to make a graph visualization with javascript), firefox is MUCH slower than Chrome. Then again, chrome does some optimization which lowers image quality.

Hai guys, what's going on in this thread?
>>
>>55067027
Op asked what's wrong with Chrome. I said you have no option whatsoever to choose how your tabs should look like. Maybe someone wants to use Chrome but wants a UI option to switch to straight Edge-style tabs. Or to stack them on top of each other once their number exceeds a limit.
All I'm saying is that Chrome doesn't allow much UI customisation and is not flexible enough about such choices. You don't even have a native dark mode, you need to install themes which don't enable a true dark mode.

And yes, they would.

>>55067201
Performing better doesn't mean much when your browser practically has nothing feature wise.
