I'm dissuaded from using Thorium after the news of the developer including... questionable material in their builds[0], and checked into CVS no less.

Thorium – Radioactive Chromium Fork
Yeah, man. Honestly it's kind of a sexy picture that yiff png^0. I ain't into furry shit and I think it's weird, but that's a pretty sexy pose right there for people of a certain orientation.

I mean, weird to include it in a GitHub repo, but not evil. The fact that some NPCs are falling over themselves to call this evil (while probably repressed-guilt-projectively retreating to their private stashus of furry-et-al pon when the sun rises) suggests there's "rotten" in the state of browser forking, methinks! hahahahaha :)

Don't Use Thorium Browser – If Installed, Remove It
Too much misinformation, christ. After checking another thread, it appears the browser contains a softcore furry image, and the alleged CP is the anti-circumcision propaganda images the guy hosts on his public github.io page.
Furry easter egg removal commit is here:
https://github.com/Alex313031/thorium/commit/9947421f1480bd1...
And these are the alleged edits on the github.io page:
> the site for thorium at one point had a documentary about circumcision on it, alongside furry porn and other weird political stuff, when he was called out on it, it magically disappeared.

Looking for Lightweight and Good Firefox Alternatives
I used both Librewolf on linux and Waterfox on windows. Liked both browsers but chose Waterfox to continue with. Will not compare the performance of these browsers as used them on different systems. At least Waterfox was faster than Firefox on windows. Currently trying Floorp and Basilisk. I would suggest to check Mercury as well: https://thorium.rocks/mercury

Google's decision to deprecate JPEG-XL emphasizes the need for browser choice and free formats
Don't use Chrome. Try something, anything, else. The Thorium browser is fantastic, fast, and does basically everything Chrome does. If you're a Firefox person, consider trying Mercury, Waterfox, Pale Moon, or Basilisk. There is a whole world of rich browser forks that are specialized & often work better than their mainstream alternatives. Here, you can see they listened to us when large organizations didn't.
