Hey there,
I’ve been using Firefox for ages now, and I was completely satisfied with it… until very recently, that is. For space-saving reasons, I started to convert my media library to H265, since all devices in my network support it now. Or so I thought. One very noticeable omission is my desktop PC with Firefox. Now, if I watch something from my local media server, the server has to waste resources to convert to H264, which is a noticeable performance hit to all other things running on the server. The GPU in my Desktop PC (or the CPU for that matter) could have displayed H265 without even changing clock speed from idle. So I tried to use the native Plex App for Windows for that, but that one does not support RTX Super Resolution which was really nice when watching old DVD stuff.
From what I can see, to get both, I need a Chromium browser. Since I would rather not have two browsers open all the time: Is there any browser based on the latest Chromium Builds that is not a massive insult to one’s privacy?
No advanced tracking mitigation by default maybe?
OP wanted a Chromium browser that wasn’t a massive privacy invasion. With Google stuff removed, it’ll be good enough. Add uBO and ClearURLs.
Ungoogled Chromium doesn’t have extension store support by default
it tells u how to get extensions at the first start and its literally just 4 clicks to setup
I don’t think that ungoogling chromium is to much use. For a start, take the points given by uBlock Origin’s developer: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-best-on-Firefox
I’m sure there are more details where, where it’s not that Firefox is better, but that chromium is worse. Chromium is not only tainted by embedded google services, but by many design decisions of google.
