Firefox is on the brink of being dropped by the US Government

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Even Opera is now Chrome....
Opera, chrome, but with CCP data theft and monitoring
And the last reason to even consider using it goes out the window ๐ Thanks for the heads-up.
Not to even mention the fact a Chinese company owns Opera. Why is it even being considered?
Because it wasn't based on the Chrome engine (initially, anyway). That's actually a significant enough reason to at least consider it. I've never used Opera precisely because of its origins (honestly I thought it was Russian, though there's not much practical difference in this case), but innovation is innovation. The fewer non-Chrome browsers exist, the worse off we all are.
Ah, didn't know how old that doc was. Opera only switched to Chrome in 2013 or so.
But yeah, I agree. That's why I support Ladybird's and Servo's development. They are the best bet to help stop the duopoly. If only Opera would BSD-license and open source their Presto Engine I would love to see someone pick up development of that. Instead we get Opera putting jumpscares in their browser .
I've not even heard of those two, I've stuck with Firefox for so long. I'll check them out, thanks!
They're both pretty new so dont expect a ton of stuff but they are both under heavy development and have funding. Enjoy!
