Who’s hating, I thi k maybe you responded to the wrong comment?
Was this you?:
Your wording appeared to imply a solid dislike for Alphabet which I then took to be transferred onto their own browser - Chrome - and the browser who takes Alphabet’s dime - Firefox.
I can see that there might be other ways to interpret that sentence and get the true shade of meaning you intended, but I’m not sure which one it is if it isn’t the one I thought it was.
Oh, I thought it was obvious that I’m using Vivaldi.
I don’t like Alphabet. I think it’s really hypocritical though for all the people that use Firefox even though it doesn’t perform nearly as well and is a pro Ai browser paid for by Google to criticize those that use a chromium forked browser built by a company dedicated to privacy and avoiding AI. To me at least obviously better to support something that has taken free code from Google and repurposed it to be very anti Google than to support something that has deep financial ties to Google. I know you all disagree, I get it that, but this is where I stand.
Chromium is still Chromium. Would I rather that Mozilla got off their AI kick and didn’t have to take Alphabet’s dime? Sure.
But at least I’m not using a Chromium.
My emergency browser is the MiniBrowser that comes with the WebKit packages on Linux.
As for speed, I don’t see any issue. Maybe I might if I switched between browser engines on a regular basis, so I don’t do that.
