Discuss software recommendations. I locked it as I don't want it to be messy and hard to consume. Feel free to say anything here regarding that thread.

The CEO of Brave made a statement on Twitter that ge won't integrate the WEI chamged into Brave, so saying it's not recommended bc of this is missleading.

It's a fork of Chromium, so Google will add it. They'll have to specifically remove it.

Also, if companies are considering implementing WEI, they will look at most of their users on chromium users and say, we most of our users are on Chromium, so the risk is low.

The CEO can say what he wants, but it doesn't affect whether companies will roll this out. Google can not be trusted to drive web standards, and chromium needs to stop being used if we are to make it clear to website owners that they cannot simply support Chrome/Chromium only.

They already do this with a lot of other features.

Also, if companies are considering implementing WEI, they will look at most of their users on chromium users and say, we most of our users are on Chromium, so the risk is low.

Vilvadi is not going to implement this too. So 2 major chromium based browsers are already out, and the EU will not probaly allow this too.

and chromium needs to stop being used if we are to make it clear to website owners that they cannot simply support Chrome/Chromium only.

People would start using Firefox, if it's just beeing better. But it isn't for the most people.

Except people don't use what's better. That this belief persists is proof enough. You're applying economists' spherical cow, but as the complexity of a system rises, everyone's ability to act rationally decreases. In my experience, most people gave up trying to understand tech years ago and just follow trends.
