    It is pretty ingenious (and evil) the way they made the Chromium logo look like the shitty off-brand diet version of Chrome.

      I wonder if chromium having the blue colors is what set the precedent for almost every other privacy-conscious browser to have a blue logo (Waterfox, GNU Icecat, palemoon, librewolf…)

      EDIT on second though probably not, blue just seems like a good color for internet-related applications. Safari, edge, and internet explorer are also blue!

      Actually, what is the reason that Firefox seems to be preferred over Chromium? Is it the license? The control Alphabet has over it?

      One has to agree that there is a lot more money poured into chromium, the code is more modern and easier embeddable, it is more feature-complete.

      Though, it’s good to have two independent browser engines and a non-profit (+for-profit subsidiary) dedicated to a free, open, user-focussed browser.

      Edit: both have open source licenses. Chromium seems to permit basically anything. MPL2 seems to enforce derived works to also be open source.
