Is using Voyager giving Chrome an opportunity to harvest user data? I’ll take whatever you know about the Voyager dependence on chrome.

    Where did you hear “built on elements from Chrome”?

    Not sure it can be dependent on Chrome as it works on other browsers on multiple platforms.

      I can’t search for the lemmy thread because I’m using jerboa, but it was on a thread about lemmy clients. Are you aware of this being a concern for other people maybe - lemmy.clients being dependant on chrome toolkits?

      I’m sorry if I’m not being very clear, this entire thing about lemmy and different clients and defederation and chrome sucking for privacy and all is very new to me. I’ve checked the GitHub page for voyager, but it doesn’t really mention chrome anywhere so I don’t know what to make of the whole thing.

        I’m not sure what you mean by chrome toolkits.

        It sounds like you’ve confused several different things. Voyager is a progressive web app. You can think of it as a program that runs in your web browser. Whether that’s Chrome, Safari or whatever.
