Or servo. Literally anything but chrome man.
@Static_Rocket@lemmy.world and @neblem@lemmy.world thanks for mentioning Servo👍
I didn't know about that rust-based alternative until now and I agree; even Servo would've been a better choice than Chromium.
I'm very happy Servo exists but if they want, like, a working browser, it's no wonder they chose Chromium.
For comparison, from a recent Servo blogpost: "Servo can now run Discord well enough to log in and read messages, though you can’t send messages yet. [...] We now support enough of XPath to get htmx working.".
Servo has been in development for 7+ years and it's still not able to render modern web. Maybe it never will, since it's impossible to build a new web browser.
