That being said, all current browser codebases are the size of operating systems.<\/p>\n<p>> a monopoly also<\/p>\n<p>Where did Safari and Firefox go all of a sudden?<\/p>\n<p>> and there are way too many things going on with Javascript<\/p>\n<p>Both good and bad, the web would be a worse and way less interactive place without JS. Without JS, we would be stuck with the web of 1995.<\/p>\n<p>> security issues<\/p>\n<p>As you said yourself, the codebase has the size of an operating system, so no surprises there.<\/p>\n<p>> bugs etc constantly getting patched<\/p>\n<p>which is a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>> too popular<\/p>\n<p>Thats not a thing. People use what they want to use. Too bad for you that its not Deplatformingfox.<\/p>\n<p>> Some people actually believe that chromium browsers have the best security<\/p>\n<p>Its not a matter of belief, bud. Belief belongs to the realm of religion. <\/p>\n<p>That Chromium has strong sandboxing and real site isolation is not belief, it is fact, verifiable via the open source code.<\/p>\n<p>> Firefox, gets nowhere near the security issues of browsers like Chrome<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, because its not a valuable target with 3% market share. Not because it is well-engineered (which it isnt, its garbage).<\/p>\n<p>> Firefox, gets nowhere near the security issues of browsers like Chrome, Edge, Brave and Vivaldi.<\/p>\n<p>Because nobody uses it.<\/p>\n<p>> What browser is safer to use? Firefox is!<\/p>\n<p>LOL, nope. You cant have it both ways. You claim Firefox is secure based on its irrelevancy (which is a shoddy argument in itself, but hey, lets ride with it), but when more people start using it, it will become a more attractive target of hackers, invalidating the irrelevancy factor.<\/p>\n<p>> Firefox is the only FOSS browser maintained by well paid developers<\/p>\n<p>Evidently false. Chromium is open source. So is WebKit. And Deplatformingfoxs devs are actually paid by Google.<\/p>\n<p>> Google chrome is a proprietary browser where an ad tech company bloats the code.<\/p>\n<p>So what? Chrome is just a closed source variant of Chromium, which is open source. And ad tech? Where do you think Mozzarellas money comes from? Did I miss the part where Mozzarella publicly came out against ads?<\/p>\n<p>> No thanks. Firefox is much safer.<\/p>\n<p>Nice ad. Want a job in the ad tech industry?<\/p>\n<p>Quality of gHacks posts went downhill ever since they said bye bye to fact-based arguments for the most part.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Read more: <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ghacks.net\/2022\/08\/27\/websites-may-write-to-the-clipboard-in-chrome-without-user-permission\/\" title=\"Websites may write to the clipboard in Chrome without user permission - Ghacks\">Websites may write to the clipboard in Chrome without user permission - Ghacks<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> @Anonymous123s new nick > something feels wrong with them Starting out with a strong argument, I see. > the code has become basically a mini-os Well yeah, Chrome OS is a thing.
