Yes, there are different levels of open source but the licensing for chromium are some of the broadest including having MIT license which has very few limitations.
MIT license even let's you relicense into a proprietary software.
google kills anything that is a possible threat or competition to google, the only reason they don't kill apple is because for legal reasons they need to show they have competition, that doesn't stop them from drastically limiting competition.
Also, Google doesn't even dominant every field it tries. For instance, Google Cloud is a distant third in the cloud world behind Microsoft Azure and the real giant in the field, AWS.
the fields it does dominate in it does everything in it's power to keep dominance in, I mean it's had a noose around Mozilla's neck for over a decade.
This is the stats for the US, while Chrome is the winner, Safari does still hold a fairly significant percentage.
what's Safari's Core?
Webkit which is an Apple tech
mmk
microsoft gave up not that long ago. so they're chromium now
The diagram also shows that Firefox and edge do keep trading blows which is suprising when you have to seek out Firefox and edge comes pre installed and really tries to make people use it.
edge isn't edge anymore tho :/
Clarify, Edge is chromium, Safari is not.
eh there's no need to Clarify Safari is Apple, Microsoft is Edge
so when you say Microsoft gave up.
I wouldn't say Microsoft completly gave up, they still try to push Edge hard so people don't install other browsers. They just don't want to manage the source for it over using a large community maintained base like Chromium.
it's not even that. it's not compliant with their new business strategy.
I haven't used Windows full time in years, I'm pure Linux, but I would think Edge is still important way to get people to use Bing and stay in the tracking ecosystem.
eh Microsoft has a History of producing great pieces of software that are often ahead of their time that unfortunately result in Failure because people either don't use the features or have the hardware to make use of them.
That seems to describe Windows 8, people wanted a computer not the tablet thing they tried to force on people.
Maybe it would have worked if everyone used a touch screen but not everyone does.
well take Microsoft Media Player right? It could not only function as a decrypter for Cable & satellite Signals, it could even broadcast to your Xbox 360 so you could watch tv where ever you had one hooked up.
Maybe they changed the name at some point bit I thought the cable feature was part of Windows Media Center not player.
you're right I use them interchangably because I just so use to Center playing mp4s for me
I never cared for Media Center, I prefered the more minimal VLC for playing back mp4s.
well I used more of the features of Center.
It just seemed to me it was trying to be to much at once.
it was trying to be an all in one and was actually pretty good at it.
with the right setup, configs, and scripts it was pretty universal, could even play MKV and ogg files.
if I'm running games I want a Light OS, if using a browser I want it light but secure, if I'm watching movies or something, I don't care if the program is light as long as it avoids any unnecessary interruptions.
Oh lol nice you are a great bot lol
You need more ram and a better graphics card
Graphics isn't my focus, and I know my ram isn't great. Just don't need to update it atm.
If Froski gets upgrade will he be Froski 2.0?

I looked at that for a solid 30sec trying to figure out what made it a meme, then realized this wasn't a meme channel 🤦♂️
