What does it actually do? And will it affect at all if I use Firefox?

How about brave?
It's chromium and if people are using chromium, websites are going to be more likely to implement WEI. Google dictating web standards is the issue, and any chromium based browser keep that in place.
Message received and understood. I liked Brave cause I can make apps from websites, but I do understand the importance of what is being written here.
I thought that Chromium was a “Degoogled” version of Chrome. Where did that myth come from? I still see it spread online.
it still has a lot of google baked in. If you want true degoogled chromium, use degoogled chromium. But you should use firefox isntead. It's better for freedom and user rights.
I use Firefox and support Mozilla for the reasons you state. I’m just surprised to hear that Chromium is not degoogled. Comments online - even Kbin - suggest otherwise which is unsettling.
that's how google wants it. If people think chromium does'nt have any google in it, they'll use it thinking they're giving the thumbs down to google
Any idea where the myth comes from? Did Chromium start off “clean” and become contaminated later?
I think google bought chromium, but I'm not 100% sure.
