[–] sparky@lemmy.federate.cc -2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children) There are a ton of other WebKit/Blink based browsers to choose from! Safari, Vivaldi, Brave… not to mention good old Firefox and Gecko! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Spotlight7573@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) Are there any semi-popular alternative browsers still based on WebKit? I thought most of them like Brave and Vivaldi were based on Chromium's Blink rather than WebKit. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sparky@lemmy.federate.cc 2 points 2 years ago* Technically not really, I just said WebKit to avoid breaking down the whole fork situation in my comment. Blink isn’t that different in reality so, WebKit for simplicity. Safari and Chrome are much closer to one another than Firefox is to either, so 🤷♂️ permalink fedilink source parent [–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Vivaldi and Brave use Blink (Chromium), not WebKit permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sparky@lemmy.federate.cc 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) They are practically the same thing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 2 years ago Uh, no?

Can you sync chrome to edge and edge to opera? What kind of bad faith bullshit ass argument are you trying to pull here? You're claiming that you cant sync data on Firefox, when you absolutely can. Then you claim that what you meant was that you cant cross browser sync on multiple devices. Well congratufuckinglations, you can't on any other browser either. What is wrong with you? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] PhAzE@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 years ago What's wrong with you? Are you unable to read my comment, or is it comprehension problems? I'm saying if I switch to Firefox, I have to switch it on both PC and mobile, but I hate the UI on mobile. I can't leave one as Chrome (mobile) and the other as Firefox (PC) and expect them to work together (sync). Thus, I'd rather stock to Chrome because the ui is better. permalink fedilink source parent [–] sparky@lemmy.federate.cc 6 points 2 years ago I mean.. yes? If you’re saying that Chrome sucks now, then why would you want to switch on some platforms but not others? permalink fedilink source parent [–] verdigris@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago The mobile app is great. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Reawake9179@lemmy.kde.social 1 point 2 years ago* You can use the session on your desktop on the go automatically on Firefox. permalink fedilink source parent
