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?

Enjoy your botnet.
>>61696091
chromium is worse than chrome, it sends the globfile by default
>>61696091
Yes

Please elaborate. Jeeze. Here I was all optimistic about it and what not.
Stop using add-ons.
>>61696174
Send the what?
>>61696091
Stop running dozens of 5 year old addons, install nightly and create a new profile.

>>61696237
I only have had two no-problem add-ons, both mentioned in the original post.
>>61696286
Install nightly and create a new profile.
Use Ungoogled-Chromium, no need to thank me
>>61696091
Buy a new computer. Your "designed for Windows XP" computer clearly isn't enough anymore.

>hurr durr it's open source so not botnet
>>61696263
Isn't nightly based on Firefox? Won't Mozilla's incompetence/sabotage still be in that too?
>>61696415
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.
Vivaldi.
Everything else is a chromium variant with huge binary blobs.
>>61696708
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.
>>61696824
can OP use FF or Chrome extensions with that?
Isn't this chrome = botnet shit just a meme?
>>61697435
Bump for this.
>>61697456
Nope. Even a year or so back Chrome got caught listening to people via their microphones. Look it up.

It's OPEN SOURCE. You can fix it.
Taste your own medicine, freetards.
Vivaldi v. Nightly?
>>61696824
>>61698308
How is Vivaldi not a botnet?
>>61698146
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.
