There's a popular phrase "you can't polish a turd". The meaning in this case being that if you put a nice UI on chromium it's still chromium.

[–] FurtiveFugitive@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I am familiar with the phrase. And I was correct assuming you were referring to chromium as the culprit.

In case anyone didn't know, you actually can polish a turd.

I'm not going to watch a video about polishing a turd but I assume the turd remains a turd.

You'll not I didn't actually make the claim that its not possible.
