Good to know, thanks! I currently use the flatpak version of my preferred browser for extra security (the sandbox could in theory limit the damage done by zerodays, also in theory limits fingerprinting because things like custom fonts are not available inside the sandbox), but unfortunately that breaks previewing/debugging local html files that reference other local files (e.g. images), so I was looking for a nice and simple browser to install natively just for that purpose.
The only thing stopping ungoogled chromium from really kicking off is an open source webstore alternative. Think Eclipse’s Open-VSX for community vscode builds.
PNG mainly lacked support from Microsoft (Internet Explorer) and Adobe (Photoshop). IE didn’t handle PNG transparency, while Photoshop had a shitty PNG implementation that tended to produce files larger than an equivalent GIF. Held back widespread adoption for almost a decade.
I wonder if chromium having the blue colors is what set the precedent for almost every other privacy-conscious browser to have a blue logo (Waterfox, GNU Icecat, palemoon, librewolf…)
EDIT on second though probably not, blue just seems like a good color for internet-related applications. Safari, edge, and internet explorer are also blue!
I remember hearing that in pokemon go, you could choose to join one of three teams or whatever (blue, yellow, and red). And the blue one was by far the most popular one, despite there being no difference besides color.
I feel like just more app icons in general are blue than any other color. Off the top of my head in addition to what you mentioned I have shazam, venmo, signal, steam, blink, reolink, dropbox, steam, paypal, discord, max, disney plus. And that’s not even counting one’s that are majority white but with blue as the only color. I think it’s just the most popular design choice or maybe there’s some sinister market research somewhere that shows people use/spend more on apps that have blue icons.
As others already said, Chromium definitely isn’t the first or only one to use a blue logo. There is a theory that colours influence the way we perceive a brand, for example this article explains that idea.
Blue is supposed to convey trustworthiness and maturity. A lot of companies like that, so you tend to see a lot of blue.
You may also be experiencing the frequency illusion. If you specifically noticed the blue in Chromium’s logo, it would make sense that you suddenly started noticing the blue in other logos as well!
As I’ve gotten older, it’s not even just the worldview anymore, the body can look attractive but one look at the face and if the woman is young enough it’s an immediate turn-off.
My wife and I tried a poly phase (neither of us ended up liking anyone else lol) and while on dating apps I found 27 to be the minimum and upper 40’s to be the max. I realized that there was no real way to connect and relate to someone in a totally different phase of life.
Different phases of life, different priorities, and different perspectives. Someone in their 20’s is still trying to figure out what they want to do with their life. I’ve abandoned the search and am now stuck somewhere between raising my kids and trying to buy myself some free time before I die.
I also think you have to be friends with your spouse to have a successful marriage. Lucky for me, my wife is my best friend. It’s pretty difficult to build any sort of meaningful relationship with someone you have very little in common with.
You mean 18-99? Haven’t used tinder in ~7 years or so, but I believe there was an upper limit. Found out by trial and error that apparently some women enter their year of birth instead of their age, when I matched with someone who was allegedly 97 years old.
