It's based on ungoogled-chromium and about 3 people are working on it.

I'm guessing it doesn't support certificate revocation very well as ungoogled-chromium has/had some issues with that.

removing every google url in a browser without replacements will have such downsides

And it's written in Python.

Actually it's mostly patch files but they're ignored by github.

From a few months of use I think qutebrowser is good enough to prove that a python web browser is not inherently a bad idea.

▲imiric 13 hours ago | parent [-]

qutebrowser is not technically a "Python web browser". The GUI uses Python Qt bindings, and the browser engine itself is QtWebEngine. Python is simply the glue that ties it all together, and any language could be used instead, since performance is not a concern. This is why there are so many small niche "web browsers", such as Luakit, Nyxt, surf, etc.

Surely performance is even less of a concern for a set of tools applying one time patches to ungoogled chromium?

▲Barrin92 13 hours ago | parent | prev [-]

it's a few hundred lines worth of scripts to produce an ungoogled chromium with some nicer defaults, why wouldn't it, in case pointing that out is meant to be a criticism.

oh ok, welp, :shrug:

I would not feel comfortable with my browsing data being in the hands of 3 random people.
