    It also attracts users. Using fad “tech” terminology makes them feel superior than the rest. They think “Oh I’m a tech expert because I use an AI toaster”.

    Another good example are “gaming” web browsers. Some people actually think they’re better (beyond the looks).

    This is a basic marketing strategy. It actually works (just for selling nonsense, of course).

      Pretty much every web browser except Firefox is just Chromium with some extra crap slapped on it, they’re all functionally the same.

        And Safari. But that’s hardware locked, so it’s not really better - it’s just not based on Chromium.

          If you’re on Linux, gnome-web uses the same engine as safari. And it’s a mess

          Safari is the new ie6

          Edit: also blink (used by anything chromium) is based off WebKit (safari)

            What exactly are “all the clones” I know opera gx, and Vivaldi are on this list, but what other ‘clones’ exist?
