It’s getting harder to remain compassionate towards people who keep using chrome.

In some ways, it is unavoidable, because chrome is also embedded in Windows, and the electron framework. You can’t blame someone for using it that way.

People who care make the switch so not sure what there is to feel compassionate about.

Its kinda nice they slowed YouTube down first, that got at least 3 people i know into using firefox, though if i still want to annoy them i could tell them to run a invidius docker instead.

Are you serious? You can’t be compassionate toward people who use a certain browser? It’s probably because they don’t understand/know/care. 🤷‍♂️ Educate them.

I used to use the good browser. But then they changed what the good browser was. Now what I’m with isn’t it, and what’s it seems weird and scary to me.

Mozilla Phoenix user here. Good old times. Then Firebird came along. Then Firefox… What an odd name change that was, IMO. Firefox. Huh.

Then Chrome came and I jumped on that ship for years until the new revamped Firefox came in 2018, and as it looks nowadays, I won’t ever leave Firefox until it dies of death.

Chrome has a pretty sleek design these days, but my conscience tells me I can’t use it.

I use Chromium for web development (testing purposes only), but I’m not sure if Chromium is any better. At least I’m not signed in to it.

They ditched Phoenix because the bios manufacturer had that copy right. There’s a whole story behind it.

Firefox in China is also known as a red panda

Ah, so that’s the reason. I never bothered to find out. Thanks! Only 20 years later or so 😅

It’s also already built into Google Play Services. Remember this when they claim a monopoly is good for “security” reasons.

Amazing how Google and Apple differ on so much, but in this respect they are in total agreement…

Security is a good cop out to justify a lot of bullshit

Indeed it is. Unfortunately though it’s also important enough that it means people will go along with fascist stuff if the “security” excuse is used, and people who stand up to it will be mocked and ridiculed at best, or be accused of being cyber attackers at worst.

then the big shrug and all continue using chrome, iphone, amazon and the other evils.

if you are using any of the above YOU are the problem.

From the article…

Literally, “wash me, but don’t get me wet”.
