It's even funnier when I need to use
webcordto use Discord inside chromium to get screen sharing working on Wayland on Linux -.-Does webcord support screenshare with audio? I tried it myself and it didn't work, I've been using
discord-screenaudio.Mmm actually thanks for this comment.
Can confirm wasn't sharing audio.
I did setup OBS with YouTube and can stream at 1440p60 with AV1 on my 7900xtx at least. 😔
They're using whatever's built into the OS, because they don't want to be just another Chromium fork

Like its Mac browser, DuckDuckGo (DDG) uses “the underlying operating system rendering API” rather than its own forked browser code. That’s “a Windows WebView2 call that utilizes the Blink rendering engine underneath,” according to DuckDuckGo’s blog post. Fittingly, the browser reports itself as Microsoft Edge at most header-scanning sites.

looks at Edge
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but isn't that just more Chromium?
You're not misunderstanding at all, and you're exactly right:

lmao
If they are wanting to be privacy focused, why use Chromium? It's a data hover extraordinaire.
Isn't that a Chrome/Chromium distinction?
So on Windows its Edge, so its another chrome client?
