A huge amount of users use chrome instead of chromium, but what are the advantages of this? To me it just seems closed source chromium with trackers and a colorful logo Is there some pro in using chrome?
My guess is that the vast majority of people using Chrome aren’t even aware that Chromium exists.
This is sadly the correct answer. Many people also just use what their preferred OS preinstalles rarely users ever use an alternative to that
They might just like the google sync part? If they use chrome on their mobiles and other computers and so on?
Haven’t used Chrome or Chromium in quite some time, but sounds interesting – especially since fully open-source forks of Firefox, such as Fennec, can use Mozilla’s sync service.
Even non-Firefox browsers can use Firefox Sync! GNOME Web does for example.
I have created a sync tool which can be used by Firefox and all Chromium derivatives. A bookmark added in Firefox is synced automatically to Chromium and visa versa. The Webextension can be downloaded from the standard Firefox AMO, the same applies for Microsoft Edge. For Chrome and other Chromium derivates you have to sideload the Extension, because I don’t want to upload it to the Chrome Web Store.
As a backend, you need a selhosted PHP script with absolute minimum requirements. As an alternative you can use a Webdav share as backend. The backend is available at https://codeberg.org/Offerel/SyncMarks-Webapp. The extension in the mentioned extension stores or at https://codeberg.org/Offerel/SyncMarks-Extension
I will upload my latest commits today, with some small fixes, there was no update since some time.
