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.
Your answer would be right… guessing that author’s guess is perfect and out of error.
However, this is not the case here.
A user should be able to ask for a chromium-based browser with good privacy without having other Gecko-based browsers shoved down their throat.
What you guys are doing is not helpful.
If you don’t like the question asked and can’t be bothered to give decent alternatives, scroll by. Just keep scrolling.
Did I force OP to use Firefox or anything? Yes? No? Did I tell him “NOOOO YOU CAN’T USE CHROMIUM BROWSERS!!!”? I don’t think I forced anybody to do what I say. Mine were only recommendations, according to MY own experiences.
There is no Chromium-based with good privacy and auto-updates, it is obvious that Gecko-based browsers are superior for privacy. Blink-based if you want security instead. If you know any Blink browser with good privacy and auto-updates, you’re welcome to give recommendations, instead of attacking other people. And no, UG Chromium does not have automatic updates.
I believe is because of replies like yours that people think privacy advocates are aggressive and toxic, don’t you think?
EDIT: if you want a good amount of privacy, you have to give up on a good amount of convenience. The same goes for the opposite. Period.
The problem is when you ask for something that doesn’t exist or you planified wrong your question.
There are StackOverflow names to these kind of problems if I remember. When a user ask for X, to get Y and such things are incompatible.
