Chromium Forks like Cromite and Brave have this feature already.

Fuck Chromium. Don't support Google's monopoly on web rendering engines and use Firefox or Mull for Android as well as LibreWolf on desktop.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I use both. Firefox for most of my work and Chromium for sites that usually don't work well on FF.

I would recommend arkenfox over librewolf, that way you can use an up to date browser, with the same privacy and greater flexibility to enable features you may want (e.g. no letterbox etc).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

LibreWolf massively improved it's update schedule and you can disable any feature you dislike. They have a separate page in the normal user-facing settings for disabling stuff like letterboxing, no need to use about:config. It's better for new users, but also just more convenient for power users. Having to explain how to harden Firefox to a new user would not be ideal.

I've been using cromite for months! how did I not know about this??

how did I not know about this??

The first thing I do whenever I install anything is to go through the settings. To turn off trackers, analytics and explore the accessibility features.
