So that's that: Firefox is now the only useful browser in the world.

Meanwhile, Google controls nearly the entire web browser market, far more than Microsoft ever did at the height of the original browser wars.

Using Chromium based products makes you less safe.

Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads

Google ramps up its campaign against ad blockers on Chrome.

I really wonder what will actually happen. #Chromium is open source, and theoretically slicing the blocking code could be done, only if Google don't actually rewrite the whole inner logic to be impossible to cut out bad slices.
But I see people moving from #Chrome to other browsers (opera, brave, ...) just because of the ad blockers, so yes, it works.

A list of recent hostile moves by #Google's #Chrome team; handy for sharing with your entourage, to explain why they should stop using #Chromium / #GoogleChrome and use #Firefox or #Epiphany as their main #web #browser :

* The "Manifest v3" sabotage of content blocking extensions: https://www.theverge.com/2022/6/10/23131029/mozilla-ad-blocking-firefox-google-chrome-privacy-manifest-v3-web-request

Chrome Banishes JPEG XL Photo Format That Could Save Phone Space

Adobe, Intel, Shopify and Facebook like the new JPEG XL standard, but Google has dealt it a severe blow.

Gibt es noch (komfortable) freie Browser
Mir scheint es als ob Chromium und die Firefox Engine die Internetwelt völlig unter sich aufgeteilt haben. Gibt es noch freie, aktuelle, unter Linux laufende Browser, bei denen man weder auf Komfort noch auf wesentliche Funktionen verzichten muss?

Curl und Lynx kenne ich gut, erfüllen meine Anforderungen in Bezug auf Komfort halt nur bedingt ;)
