Should I use chromium based browsers or firefox? (lemm.ee)

Chromium has better features, but with google announcing its plan to 'drm the internet' I 'm not sure if it'd be a good idea.

What better features? Firefox has pretty much everything nowadays, and is as fast as Chrome.

From the comments I'm noticing a trend

  • Google Chromecast issues
  • Not allowed to do background effects in Google meet

and from personal experience:

  • issues using the store to update add-ons on Google docs
  • can't authenticate desktop Google drive

I use a lot of Google products, but avoid Chrome because of nonsense like this. Firefox works fine for everything else EXCEPT certain Google products. Feels intentional

I have the same experience. At my last company they only used Google meet so I had chrome on my computer just for meetings and nothing else.
