    I’m afraid if we discourage companies from adopting open source we’ll end up with even more closed source garbage.

    There are industry sectors where closed source is the norm, and it just leads to more vendor lock-in and less standardization and interop.

    I’m a bit young to say for sure, but I believe closed source was the norm in the software world 20-30 years ago and openness was stigmatized. I certainly don’t want to live in that world.

    valid question, idk why would people downvote it

    broken websites on desktop are rare and not nearly enough to drive a browser change, but they usually fall into two categories:

    1. websites that “break” on purpose for no good reason when they detect it’s not chromium. Either avoid the site or change the user agent.

    2. websites that degrade some functionalities because they rely on newer features or on how things appear on chromium. They’re usually CSS breakages and do not affect browsing that much.

    Support for manifest v2 greatly outweighs these potential issues imo.
