All i had to remember is the URL and tab's thumbnail lol. I could open 60 tabs on single Chrome window and 40 in another, i can open as much tab on Chrome that the tabs symbol become unclickable, and chrome is like, do you want open more tabs? That's ok, i just have to refresh old tabs once you return to them, cause you dont have much ram. Firefox? Oh bro, Firefox tries to keep tabs in ram, it can keep more tabs in ram than chrome, up to six MAX, but once i hit RAM limit. . . Dear god. My entire system hangs, slow downs to oblivion, OS unresponsive as hell, 100% disk I/O by Firefox, while doing nothing. Once i hit that condition, i disconnected from net, not Helped. Firefox Hogged my entire HDD I/O for HALF A HOUR, while doing... nothing. Windows couldn't even run task manager. Finally i got task manager running and ended Firefox's misery. Can you imagine THAT? Full disk read/write on a browser that is not even connected to net for the past thirty or so minutes and all Firefox have to do is to cache tabs into VRAM. On Linux OS? Same problem with Firefox, it just takes a bit longer to hit the RAM limit, like three or four tabs more compared to windows, but once it hit the RAM limit and starts to swap, same problem as windows. Chromium based browsers play nice with linux too, they try to swap files on linux, in opposition to just clearing the tab from RAM on windows, and they hit in performance once swapping begins, but in reasonable amount. You could say swap is slow, yeah, and loading tabs from swap is, but its not like the madness Firefox causes.

Cool! The last time I checked their GitHub repository, they didn't have any installers for Debian, nor Windows, and that was before I discovered Vivaldi, which I consider to be the Pale Moon of Chromium based Web browsers in terms of UI customisability, and now I use that in the rare case that a website specifically insists on using Chrome when I try to load it in Pale Moon or Firefox. I don't even use Edge, though, because it currently still feels too much like Chrome, right down to the lack of UI customisability options.

Is Brave based off of regular Chromium or the Ungoogled one? I really don't trust brave because it's Chromium based

[@indefatigableargonaut]

It's based on regular chromium but it has its own tweaks similar to ungoogled chromium. Ungoogled chromium is just a title for the browser. It's not a universal thing that is used.

[@ravikishor2594]

why not use brave browser with all sync features and ungoogled chromium features

@Hunters Only 2 problems there. All data is anonymous and they don't sell data. Even so, it's something you can prompt out of if you don't feel like giving any diagnostic information. Which is what I recommend you do too, even if that data is anonymous.

[@erwinjitsu_3706]

@Hunters I have limited my google usage to youtube only. Search engine, browser and operating system all are privacy oriented. Unfortunately, for the most part, youtube is still the monopoly in video-sharing. Brave is open source. That means you as a user can go and look at the source code and tinker and code as you please. You may also fork it as another browser like ungoogled cromium is for chromium. Open source also means everything is open to the user, all calls and data leaving and entering is visible and as such it is impossible for them to take data without the user knowing. But I get it, Brave being registered in California it is still not trustworthy. All I'm saying is they so far have acted good.

[@erwinjitsu_3706]

@Hunters That‘s right! The wrong services will invade your privacy. Looking before using is the way to go and piece by piece you can make your internet activity safe and private.

[@JessieProductions]

Brave isn’t fully open source, only the client is. The client also connects you to services that you can’t see the code for. It is very possible that they sell data

[@erwinjitsu_3706]

@@JessieProductions Yes, you don't know what happens on server side. But you know what goes to the server and, if you have all unchecked in the browser, there is nothing going to the server itself.

[@gracie5083]

It probably depends on the operating systems. For example, some linux based os like raspi, have it preinstalled

When huge companies are leading something its hardly open source. Who knows though. Maybe these things eventually unravel the current monopolies the way the open sourcing of the PC architecture sunk IBM.

To be honest this video was pretty bad. I still don’t know the difference to chromium. Virtually everything you said is valid for chromium as well

[@thexavier666]

I think it was clear, but could have been better. It's chromium minus all features which relied on Google. No safe search, no chrome web store, no autocomplete in URL, no autosync because all these features used Google in the backend. If you use this browser, you can be assured that it's not pinging google in the background.

i think he explained the diference is that this is a project independent of google tha removes all microsoft elements

[@erwinamanciosilva7693]

most people here confused ungoogled chromium with chromium itself, the on on this video is not the same chromium peoole usually use, like the same one that comes on linux distros, ungoogled chromium is a different fork or separete project from chromium itself.

Is ungoogled chromium different than just chromium???

[@arnone1862]

@@TheRealDrWho as far as I know, the open-source Chromium project has nothing to do with Google. so vanilla Chromium browser is already "ungoogled" it's a case of Google taking something that already exists, and adding their spyware to it there's also an "ungoogled" Chromium OS if you're interested. but it's designed for x86 desktop and won't run Play Store apps because, again, it has nothing to do with Google or Android
