I used to be a fan of FF until chrome. I understand it's bad - but how about chromium?

Btw, I'm not against looking at FF again, but looking at this changelog and recent product direction, they honestly feel lost.

They deliver a new version every month, why do they feel lost and what sort of changes do you expect?

How is chromium better than chrome? It's the same program, minus some blobs.

Some users may not like the blobs.

I mean, sure, but chromium is still happy to spy on you, integrate with Google services, and contributes to the Blink monoculture. I'm just surprised that there are people who would object to Chrome on principle and not to chromium.

Mozilla is currently in a state of disarray. Diving revenues, layoffs, etc. Don’t expect anything major from them until the number of users start growing again.
