hperrin,

Thank you for asking this. I’m going under day after tomorrow for knee surgery, so I’m going to pick one of these to use. :)

hperrin,

I like that a lot.

hperrin,

If you build it, they will come.

“The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Must Know About Unicode in 2023 (Still No Excuses!)”

If you’re a software dev, or just interested in how computers represent text, it’s a very good read.

I use Brave to test whether my websites work on Chromium browsers, but their scummy actions lately make me want to find a new Chromium browser to test with. What's the best Chromium based browser?

I already use Firefox for browsing normally, but I have to test on a Chromium based browser too. One soft requirement is that it should be installable with Flatpak on Linux.

hperrin,

The KDE team is awesome, and they already have Mac devs. So maybe if people show support for it, they’d do it. :)

hperrin,

Yeah, this is a contender. No Windows build and no sync are the downsides, but neither is a deal breaker, since I’m only testing with it, and I code on Linux and Mac.

hperrin,

I try as hard as I can to never boot into Windows. The only time I ever do is to build a Windows version of one of my desktop apps.

hperrin,

I mostly code on Linux, but I also code on Mac, since I have to test on Safari. I don’t really ever code on Windows. Windows exists on a separate disk in my computer just to boot into every 3 or 4 months when I release a new version of a desktop app and need to build for Windows.

So I want a browser that at least works on Linux and Mac. What I meant in my post was I wanted it installable through Flatpak rather than a snap or deb, since I use Fedora.

hperrin,

That’s vanilla Chromium.

Ungoogled Chromium is not officially released on Windows, only through a third party.

hperrin,

I don’t use Windows much, but Edge is available on Mac and Linux. I’m just not a fan of all the “features” they put in it. I’m looking for more of a clean browser experience, if you get what I mean.
