I am reviewing (asking for opinions) whether Chromium should remain in the distro, as are my equivalents at other Linux distributions since the announcement of Chrome Sync being removed. I have already removed the keys needed for Chrome Sync to work from the openSUSE packages.
So, we either keep Chromium without Sync or we ditch it.
We also have the option of packaging an open source Chromium derivative that has Sync (i think Brave does, not 100%). I think Google is making it clear that Chromium is not meant to be used.
Do they? Like is there a statement or are you inferring from their nudging people towards Chrome?
Yes, they are pretty adamant about not fixing bugs nor adding even minor features that are not part of chrome roadmap, and now they even removing features on the basis the browser is too good and might compete with the official one. Thanks Michal
Cheerrs,
