Greetings! I have recently ditched google and went with privacy focused alternatives. Such as SearXNG, Invidious, Lemmy etc.
However, while i was using degoogled chromium, i cant install extensions.
Is there any way i can install extensions on Degoogled Chromium? (ik this isnt the right place to ask but eh)
Thanks a lot!
Never noticed an issue and if websites using only chrome supported features, it’s an issue with the website, not the browser.
That’s one way to look at it. If a website works perfectly on chromium, but not firefox, why is this the website’s fault?
Because in web development there are compatibility tables of what features work with which browser. If a developer has used a feature poorly supported, they either haven’t done their homework, or intentionally made that call.
In web development, most reputable Front End Devs would not choose bleeding edge, barely supported features even if the temptation was there because the user comes first. Generally, you wait until it has been adopted by the main browsers (chrome, safari, ff).
Frankly, if something doesn’t work in Firefox, thats like <5% market share. Probably lower for a lot of segments. I am familiar with webdev :) Let’s not pretend most devs are checking caniuse for everything. Some sites leverage bleeding edge stuff that necessarily requires chrome, which is also fine. IRL people don’t optimize for Firefox and that’s usually okay, but sometimes there are quirks. That’s all I’m saying
