      Cause People. Don’t. Care

      Even if something gathers illegal amounts of data, and has removed all ad blocking extensions, they will just use the default.

      There was a time when Chrome was fresh that it seemed to be a fast, lightweight feeling new alternative. I didn’t switch back until I was looking for more control over content presentation options.

        I’ve never seen that, which freaking websites only works in Chromium?

        I’ve seen glorious corporate interfaces, only functioning in Microsoft Explorer. But only Chromium?

          Some training content for work (I think it was for an in-browser code security training). And I’ve run into one or two sites where they required me to try in Chrome for a support issue, just can’t remember what it was. And newbs vibe-producing corporate tool proofs of concept as Chrome plugins because it’s simpler and doesn’t depend on any gatekeepers to deployment. (Fortunately, other gatekeepers still got a chance to say “no” and forced it to become a real web application.)

      JavaScript and rendering performance as well as USB hardware access if you’re doing something like playing a browser based emulator. Pretty niche, but it’s a usecase that is much more poorly served by Firefox.

      Once in a blue moon a website is unusable on Firefox so I fire up Vivaldi, but yeah, it is not common.
