The user has basic computer literacy, which is why having auto updates is something they’d like for the convenience. Addons are needed for uBlock Origins and such.
Having used Firefox for so many years, I honestly haven’t a clue. Should i go with just vanilla Chromium? Or are there better options? Thanks in advance, Lemmy.
Afterall Chromium is overal a bad option for privacy, control and personal freedom as well as the freedom of the internet. The predominant use of Chromium puts web standards in Google’s hands and thereby threatens the open internet.
I highly recommend against Edge as it is the same as Chrome with Google exchanged by Microsoft as the bad guy.
Ungoogled Chromium does not have automatic updates for Windows as far as I know.
There is always Brave despite its controversy.
But you could also look into Iridium. Make sure to configure it according to your friend’s needs so no privacy feature like automatic cookie clearing bothers him and add uBlock Origin and HTTPS Everywhere. I have not used Iridium myself though and cannot vouche for it but it looks worth looking into.
I would find it interesting to know what your friend bugs so much about Firefox. Firefox is much more customizable than Chrome so maybe that can be resolved. If it has been some time since your friend tried FireFox it might make sense to look back into it.
Exactly my sentiment as well. First, get information about the real requirements. Then decide on a technology. Excluding firefox because years ago the colour of the highlighting function wasn’t to their liking or sone other weird non-reason would be silly.
Iridium also doesn’t have automatic updates as far as I know.
You are right.
