Ask HN: Since Chrome is Evil would you like to pay for a browser?

11 comments

A browser needs to be trustworthy and transparent; anything that isn't fully Open Source is simply not fit for purpose.

Just use Firefox.

The assumption is that chrome is evil, without justification. Regardless, what about chromium (open source, free)? http://www.chromium.org/

History of people attempting to charge for using a browser?

history of people preferring 'free' products with ads/tracking over paid software. browsers, email clients, encyclopedias, you name it.

That's very true. So the evil is not Chrome then :)

No, use Vivaldi.
