sealvur.blogg.se - All chromium based browsers

Since the Chromium project is ahead of the branded browsers, when the world is on Google Chrome N, Playwright already supports Chromium N+1 that will be released in Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge a few weeks later.

Chromium įor Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and other Chromium-based browsers, by default, Playwright uses open source Chromium builds. To run on other/multiple browsers click the play button's dropdown from the testing sidebar and choose another profile or modify the default profile by clicking Select Default Profile and select the browsers you wish to run your tests on.Ĭhoose a specific profile, various profiles or all profiles to run tests on. If most browsers are based on it, so be it, but let the innovation happen from a level playing field.The VS Code test runner runs your tests on the default browser of Chrome. The health of the browser ecosystem would benefit from a cleaner, company-agnostic version of Chromium (and maybe call it something else).

Y’all can call me an ignorant asshole in January 2032 if Mozilla still has a competitive browser engine. Mozilla’s money seems to come from Google anyway so it’s tough to imagine Mozilla’s browser engines hanging on for that much longer. You can imagine Apple hanging onto their own thing with WebKit forever, but things don’t seem to be going terribly well at Mozilla, and they haven’t for a while. I have zero doubt that the browser world is converging on Chromium.

Disable features that inhibit control and transparency, and add or modify features that promote them (these changes will almost always require manual activation or enabling).

Remove all uses of pre-made binaries from the source code, and replace them with user-provided alternatives when possible.

Remove all code specific to Google web services.

Remove all remaining background requests to any web services while building and running the browser.

Perhaps most notable is ungoogled-chromium. Seems a smidge weird to me, but hey, it’s open-source, so if you don’t like it, fork it. It’s that if you want to base another browser on Chromium, you have to yank stuff out of Chromium. Sounds like Dan (and by extension: me) learned through this thread that Chromium isn’t actually just the core browser stuff where Chrome then adds stuff on top of it. Is there a regularly updated mod of chrome that’s basically chromium (so chrome minus google-specific stuff except search) but also without experimental features and always based on a stable revision- Dan December 28, 2021
