As Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation, explains, "This project will provide much-needed funding and development support for open development of projects within the Chromium ecosystem."
The Supporters of Chromium-Based Browsers initiative will operate as a neutral platform, enabling collaboration while maintaining the existing governance structures of Chromium projects. By removing barriers and encouraging broader participation, the initiative hopes to expand adoption and ensure ongoing progress in the ecosystem.
Major industry players, including Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Opera, have pledged their support. Google's VP of Chrome, Parisa Tabriz, said, "With the incredible support of the Linux Foundation, we believe this initiative is an important opportunity to create a sustainable platform for continued development and innovation in the Chromium ecosystem."
This new project will follow an open governance model, prioritizing transparency, inclusivity, and community-driven development. A technical advisory committee will be established to guide its efforts and address the needs of the broader Chromium community.

💯 screw TLF! I lost all respect for them.
Firef*x should be the win.
It's more clear than ever that Google cannot be trusted. Their browser is a privacy nightmare, and in the next few years, ads and tracking will be mandatory. MV3 was just the first step. They will ban all ad blockers and privacy extensions in the next few years. Whoever made this decision at the Linux foundation should be ashamed of themselves
if this thing will be successful then in a few years mozzarella will switch to this open-chromium, and will throw away the gecko engine... because this chromium will be "totally open and independent from google", and finally they'll be free from the trouble of developing gecko.
I do expect that to happen sooner or later but I did not expect this coalition to happen either lol.
...the nightmare just won't end, will it.

Yup. Brave hate follows the classic pattern of the online tantrum with all the attacks being complete lies such as Brave not being FOSS, having a cryptominer, or spying on you. If anything Brave tracks you less due to its best in class adblock while Mozzarella has openly declared itself an ad company now.

Another chrome rebrand just gets Google close to a monopoly on web browsers. Letting an ad company own the internet is bad, actually
If Brave ran on gecko, webkit, ladybird, or literally anything else, I would be a brave fan

Get a list of advertiser domains, then, and configure your router to not send those requests.
And when ad tech catches up and all the ads are served from the domain you're actually trying to browse, sic an AI on it to snip out the irrelevant content

I tried this and it doesn't work everywhere.
Besides, a real adblocker does much more. I use ublock to block tons of annoyances, like GDPR notices, newsletter banners and even some rdrama users

You can unperson users with the built-in css settings.

DNS based ad blocking is still incomplete compared to URL-based blocking like ublock origin, because of domains that share both real and ad pages

You can apply url based filtering at any point between the address bar and the line coming out of your house
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Your router can't filter on the URL for any pages using https unless you go through the trouble to have your router decrypt and re-encrypt everything on your network with a new fake CA. Outside of that, all your router can filter on is the domain name, and that's assuming the request uses SNI.

Have you set up a fricking CA with a fricking yubikey before, b-word? I was fricking thinking of setting up my homelab services with proper certs.
Jump in the discussion.

No, all my services are behind nginx, and I just set
services.nginx.virtualHosts.<hostname>.enableACME = true;
I did recently collect all my configs into one repo, and move my router onto NixOS, so setting up my own CA and automatically configuring everything is doable but… it still sounds like a headache.

I should take a fricking weekend and commit to NixOS. I was fricking pretty skillful at Guix last decade.

Do it, it makes it so much easier to manage convoluted setups. My workstation and NAS both have ephemeral root directories, my NAS has an encrypted boot but lets me unlock it over ssh, all my services are in restricted systemd-nspawn containers, I recently moved my matrix homeserver to a dedicated machine and it was as easy as copying my config, my dotfiles are all managed in a common repo…
If you ever hit a wall, I don't mind helping with Nix

I have a fricking weird set up right now because I have a fricking Synology as my NAS (intentionally boring and reliable) and a fricking separate beefy server running Proxmox for anything that needs oomf.
Would you say go NixOS on bare metal or throw it up on Proxmox, b-word?
