This’ll be stalled until late January, and then it will go away

Tump high-key fucking hates Google. I don't know that this goes away.

[–] schizo@forum.uncomfortable.business 39 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah but all Google needs to do is back up a dump truck of cash to Mar A Lago, and he'll forget all about whatever it was he didn't like about Google and immediately start tweeting how he's the bigliest fan of all the very good things Google is doing, so I'm going to skip the breath holding bit.

Ha. Just have copilot say nice things about him and he will probably change his mind for free!

Force Google to use firefox for "webview" on android

Money shot

All that investment hehe

This would be so good. As someone who fully switched to Firefox on Android I hate that chrome webview is a thing.

Closest without rooting is to "uninstall updates" to the chrome app in the menu which makes it "APK Stub" instead of Chrome, ans then disabling Android Webview.

If you are fucking with it that much... Have you heard of vanadium?

[–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Only works for Pixels with Graphene

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Can't take apk from github?

[–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

"Vanadium isn't yet officially available for users outside GrapheneOS, although we plan to do that eventually. It won't be able to provide the WebView outside GrapheneOS and will have missing hardening and other features" from their github

Well damn... Thanks for sharing.

How? Chrome is mostly chromium. They don’t sell Chrome, it’s free and they contribute to the project for free.

[–] vinyl@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

Chromium is oss but chrome isn't.

the same doj who had trump dead to rights in at least a dozen ways, and couldn't stop him in the last 4 years? that doj? bullshit in the last month and a half for headlines, so the doj employees and management about to be purged can burnish their bonifides for legal and lobbying firms they'll be working for come january 26th. don't publish this bullshit, it's insulting.
