The template of this meme is that of the man who cheerfully points his hand at a butterfly, asking “Is this a pigeon”?. In this meme, the man has been covered with icons of the applications IntelliJ, VSCode, Chromium and Signal. The butterfly which he points to is overlaid with the caption “.config”. He asks “Is this a trash can?” At the bottom of the image, we see the command du -sh executed on the directories .config/chromium/ and .config/Code, yielding file sizes of 1016M and 83M respectively.
Well you do use files named chrome.css, as Firefox based browsers have their style css in that.
Fun fact: Unrelated to the browser of the same name, it’s the “window chrome” of the browser
The browser that manages to somehow get even more spyware than chrome?
Yes ok my mistake, despite * I am of course not talking about files with e.g. .css extension but only the browsers with chrome* as name. :)
Edit: Above all, I don’t want to imply that Firefox and co don’t use system resources just as wastefully. But they are still the better choice.
Yep, obviously, was just a joke. But technically, eg. steam is also chromium-based (which explains why it’s shit)
Valve has proven they will go to great lengths to utterly thwart would-be monopolies that threaten PC gaming (the real reason proton exists). We just need to find a way to convince them that Google is a threat too.
It’s just a rat’s tail like so many other things.
I miss opera with own engine
There’s so many features that Opera had that still aren’t widespread in other browsers. The closest equivalent these days is Vivaldi, although I don’t like that it’s Chromium-based.
