Is Chromium the only available option? I'm needing a browser that is open source and that can use many add-ons that are available for Chrome and Firefox. Can Chromium use Chrom extensions, such as HTTPS Everywhere and VideoDownloadHelper?

>google Enjoy your botnet.
Ayden Rodriguez
chromium is worse than chrome, it sends the globfile by default
Wyatt Ramirez
Yes
Luke Ross
Cyberfox
Jeremiah Davis
Please elaborate. Jeeze. Here I was all optimistic about it and what not.
Lincoln Young
Stop using add-ons.
Hudson Bell
Send the what?
Isaac Wilson
Stop running dozens of 5 year old addons, install nightly and create a new profile.
Isaiah Torres
I only have had two no-problem add-ons, both mentioned in the original post.
Colton Cooper
Install nightly and create a new profile.
Isaac Davis
Use Ungoogled-Chromium, no need to thank me
Wyatt Moore
Buy a new computer. Your "designed for Windows XP" computer clearly isn't enough anymore.

>hurr durr it's open source so not botnet
Blake Stewart
Isn't nightly based on Firefox? Won't Mozilla's incompetence/sabotage still be in that too?
Isaac Cox
I said it runs that way on any hardware I've used it on, high-end or low-end. Thank ya.
Much less chance of it being botnet.
Jace Kelly
Vivaldi. Everything else is a chromium variant with huge binary blobs.
Aiden Smith
It would probably make more sense to say that Firefox is based on Nightly. The point is that there's already a shitload of new improvements in Nightly and they keep coming.
Juan Butler
can OP use FF or Chrome extensions with that?
Christopher Anderson
Isn't this chrome = botnet shit just a meme?
Nolan Barnes
Bump for this.
Nope. Even a year or so back Chrome got caught listening to people via their microphones. Look it up.

Juan Ortiz
It's OPEN SOURCE. You can fix it.
Taste your own medicine, freetards.
Asher Sanders
Vivaldi v. Nightly?
Ryan Baker
How is Vivaldi not a botnet?
Robert Price
Like, you know, IRIDIUM fucking patchset for google's free to run, study and modify web crawling application does exactly this.

Been on the V train for about a week now. the thing is sexy as hell.
