I mean, I like Firefox, but I’d love to see Vivaldi based on Firefox/Gecko. There’s Floorp, which is similar in some ways but it’s more like an Edge built on Firefox than Vivaldi.

Edit: Thank y’all for your answers. :D

I want to link !@bdonvr@thelemmy.club 's post because it is a similar quesion. https://thelemmy.club/post/718914

    Chrome and its derivatives are by far the most popular browsers, it’s simply easier to go with the most common for maximum compatibility.

      And that’s the problem. It gives full control power to Google. That’s the reason that popularity needs to be broken.

        This is a genuine question, asked by someone willing to learn.

        Why does it give control to Google to use Chromium? It’s open source? Are all the decision makers Google employees? Wouldn’t one assume that forks would occur if a decision was taken as chromium level that was detrimental to, say, Microsoft’s Edge?
