Has chrome made a nostalgic comeback yet?

why they call it chrome

"We had a ‘pick a codename’ vote early in the development cycle – the names that came of that competition were so terrible that we were all pretty happy when one of the leads overrode it and declared that the codename would be ‘Chrome’, presumably because he likes fast cars."

It’s because the UI elements of a browser is called “the chrome”. Not the part that shows the web content but the donut of controls around that window. It was okay when it was called “chromium” but became a real pain in the ass when they branded it Chrome because hardcore web guys use that term to apply to the UI of the browser. Basically this is calling a car “drivetrain” which completely pisses off all mechanics who work on cars. Silly stupid name that still causes problems to this day.

chronic lack of imagination

who is not using google chrome?

(me of course)

I'm using Brave Browser

 

[Clinamenic]

Don't know if they are owned by Alphabet or not, though. They also have a built in TOR browsing option, which I'd like to understand better.

Before that I used Vivaldi.

@suspended may like Brave Browser because you get bespoke ads and you get rewarded in BAT for clicking on them. I've earned maybe around $200 of BAT now, gave most of it to Wikipedia.

limburger copied his chrome thread off this vintage version thread. shameless

this ones a little different. the chrome thread is about uniform substances this thread is about light and refractions

copied his homework but changed the wording a little bit so you dont get caught

you dont understand anything

version's thread has an existential bend, its about a geist, a feeling. my thread is pure phenomenological response. its about objects and sensuality.

What can you do with BAT?

You can donate it to verified websites, creating a sort of content-creation economy. Twitter also has this functionality, where you can gift users in BAT. You can also send to your Coinbase account and cash it out into dollars/fiat.
