Should I use chromium based browsers or firefox?
Should I use chromium based browsers or firefox?
Chromium has better features, but with google announcing its plan to 'drm the internet' I 'm not sure if it'd be a good idea.
You're viewing a single thread.
There are a lot of articles exposing each option. Personally I prefer chromium based browsers because they support full site isolation (sandboxing) of each tab.
I tried googling about Chrome containerization of tabs and found nothing. Can you elaborate?
In fact, searching "chrome tab containerization" only results in discussions asking if there's a way to use something like firefox's containers on chrome. -
Also isn't that what Firefox containers do?
It's not per tab, but I don't see how that would be useful. I add specific topics and then make / destroy the containers as needed.
It's already annoying enough logging into the sites per container, I can't imagine doing that every time I open a tab.
This is the even better sandboxing. You can only give access to the groups container.
It's one of the main features of Vivaldi
I was talking about site isolation which is nog available in all of Firefox versions, my apologies!
Looks like it has been in the base Firefox since 2021: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Project_Fission
Do you mean sandboxing? Isn't this just Firefox's project Fission, which is already implemented?
It's done for Windows, in work on Linux and android as far as I know. Android is really bad , Linux so so . I use Firefox on Linux but not android. mainly since you get both chromium webview and Firefox , but Sandboxing an issue as well.

On Android I use Vanadium, I think there is a lot of work to be done for mobile still.
I’d love a desktop version of Vanadium once they get the adblocking working better
