Thank you! Mostly, because Chromium based are used by the most people around the world, and it’s related to my job in web-dev and security, since at least 2014.
It’s hard to guess what you actually meant, but let’s guess…
For a client, do you mean Firefox/LibreWolf/non-vendor?
Has less features for modern web-dev. Well, sure, yet the development environment is much more featureful in Chromium.
For a search engine, do you mean a SearXNG instance or such as services as Kagi?
Of course, but it’s unstable/erroneous from my experience, at this point of life. Yet, is monitored for better times.
Searxng is self hosted and open source which pull results from other search engines. This means it can be effectively customized however you want and prevents a lot of cross site tracking but his less reliable then a standard search engine.
Kagi is a paid search engine which is privacy focused, has better customization but I don’t really know a lot about it beyond that
I’m in the same boat as the other reply, I can use them for a lot of stuff but for ANYTHING work related even just viewing my schedule let alone sending HR a sick note or w/e I need chrome proper to log into the organization’s intranet. Degoogled chromium, even Firefox just keeps reprompting me to enter my authenticator codes.
Why not switch from a free corporate surveillance tracker to an actual web browser?
