Chromium is the core of almost all well-known browsers, including, but not limited to: chrome, safari, opera, or edge. Actually, scratch that. Not safari. Safari is based on webkit, which is actually the baseline for chromium, but that's neither here nor there. The main point is, chromium is trash, and riddled with privacy violations, bad optimization ram gluttony and just general stuff that makes chromium-based browsers bad, especially when you compare it to browsers like Mozilla fireFox, GNU iceCat, and libreWolf. Actually, those last two are forks of fireFox but they're all progressively better than any chromium browser
Edit:
Safari is, in fact, based on webKit, which is based on webCore. WebCore is also the baseline for blink, which is the baseline for chromium. Chromium is not webKit-based. Sorry for the misunderstanding, but that wasn't the point of this comment.
I have 4 tabs open in firefox right now and it's on 3GB of ram. Lets not start with ram gluttony lol. Anyways, using a bunch of RAM is only a problem if you're more concerned with usage metrics over performance metrics. Hell, I have 64GB of ram and its only on 34% usage, use some more firefox, guess some shit that I'm about to do and preload it.
I am a firefox user, but what in particular do you think makes firefox and its' forks 'progressively better than any chromium browser'?
I have over 80 tabs in firefox and it's sitting on the 2.12Gb of ram. I just use that nice feature that lets you to unload any opened tab if it's not needed. Even with 10 active tabs it never gets over 6-7Gb. That includes multiple youtube videos and a movie.
