I'm being downvoted heavily on Reddit for suggesting thorium instead of Chrome.
My guess is bots as thorium is way faster and the dev hates the thought of a chromium browser without Adblock.
Moronically I think the Reddit hive mind is following that opinion and I may have to delete the comment or face site wide blacklisting which is what usually happens.
tbh i dont like thoriums update cycle you stay on 1 version for 4 months the firefox fork is even worse thats why i use ungoogled chromium instead
Kinda agree it should have an update built in, I'm using Chris Titas/Titus update script to update it.
Which to be honest doesn't seem to update it much.
I'm mostly basing my use on it being quite fast and the dev cursing out Google and swearing to keep Ublock.
I mean like chrome version updates and stuff
Thorium doesn't support secure streaming, so while it was amazeballs fast, it wasn't useful. Ended up picking Vivaldi for watching streaming.
Didn't thorium had some drama the other day though?
First I've heard of it honestly, I'm in the weird position I don't really trust Google or Mozilla so all I'm using is forks.
If those go ad crazy I'm kinda screwed.
i am pretty sure it was resolved and explained , crisis Titus also had a video but ever since its members only and i cannot find a reupload.
I'll take your word for it but between all the nonsense Google and Mozilla have pulled I'm not sure where to place my belief.
I'm sticking to thorium for now because it's fast and does what I want in a browser
