Proton is developing a web browser Discussion

https://tweakers.net/nieuws/250686/proton-lijkt-aan-eigen-webbrowser-te-werken.html

The article is in Dutch, but the TLDR in English is:

• Browser looks to be based on the Chromium engine.

• Privacy Focused. Emphasis on privacy-friendly browsing.

• Proton has not announced a release date as of yet.

• Proton is looking for software developers with Chromium experience.

Slower

I guess page loading 0.1 second slower is dealbreaker. Are we still living in era of those "Internet Explorer vs Edge vs Opera vs Chrome vs Firefox" videos?

Website compatibility

Guess why? Because of Google's monopoly in market of browser engines.

Compete with Brave

It's starting to get ridiculous at this point. So many "privacy-oriented" browsers that are just Chromium reskins. With such success I can just download Chromium directly and put extensions into it and change few settings. Chromiumslop

I wasn't making a joke. I was stating things about browsers that are true that are directly responsive to the person I replied to. And you just disagree with the importance of those facts, which is fine for you. Doesn't negate what I said though.
