A big battle on Lemmy about why I prefer Chrome/ium instead of Firefox on the old laptops I rescue from the landfills: https://lemmy.ml/post/24202956/15809331

People need to stop thinking with GNU glasses on, and become more objective. The reality is, Chrome is FASTER and uses less RAM than Firefox. This has a HUGE IMPACT on the desktop experience on OLD Pcs (not on your modern PCs, no).

But noooo... we have to support Firefox no matter what. Cultists.

@eugenialoli Is it just straight Chrome or a deGoogle Chrome?

@kaspa For other people that I install Linux on their old PCs, I use straight Chrome. For my PCs, it can be either, but I prefer Chrome because it has immediate security updates -- chromium and degoogled chromium take a few days to update.

@eugenialoli I understand your views and where you're coming from. It's basically a trade off between speed/security and security/privacy.
