I use Brave to test whether my websites work on Chromium browsers, but their scummy actions lately make me want to find a new Chromium browser to test with. What's the best Chromium based browser? (lemmy.world)

I already use Firefox for browsing normally, but I have to test on a Chromium based browser too. One soft requirement is that it should be installable with Flatpak on Linux.

I tend to use Falkon, which is developed by the KDE community...

    I don’t see a Mac build. Are they planning to support Mac?

    Oh, I rather doubt it.

    It is built on top of Qt, so I assume, theoretically, it wouldn't be terribly difficult to do the port, but you need someone who regularly tests+fixes it under macOS. And well, it's a non-commercial project, so you need someone who volunteers to do that...

    The KDE team is awesome, and they already have Mac devs. So maybe if people show support for it, they’d do it. :)

    Possible, yeah. Falkon was previously an independent project (QupZilla). I don't know how much they've intermingled with the other KDE devs yet, but that's certainly no insurmountable problem either.
