    we should have been using it for decades now.

    but then simply switching browsers won’t really do in the long run, next step is hopefully banding together to eat the rich…

        I used to use Firefox before Chrome, and it was working great. Then at some point Firefox just started sucking and so I ended up switching to Chrome.

        Around the same time I stopped using hotmail in favor of gmail as well

         

        Now, probably almost 20 years later I’m back at Firefox

        I haven’t escaped gmail yet though

        I used chrome for a long time. It’s just the browser I downloaded when I was a kid, and realized there were options other than Internet Explorer. I used it for years, just because I couldn’t be arsed to switch.

        It was this Web API shit that made me finally bite the bullet and switch. Honestly, after some tinkering and researching plugins I barely notice the change. Should’ve switched years ago.

      I started using Firefox after Opera changed to being Chromium-based about 10 years ago. (RIP) Fortunately Firefox is a lot better than it used to be so it’s not so bad.

      Oddly enough I got a lot of unprompted flack from my colleagues about using non-Chrome browsers. It boggles my mind how much people are really attached to Chrome.

    are they seriously still going ahead with this shit? Web Integrity API is the worst idea in existence

      If the web integrity API goes live and I can’t use some sites because of it, it will be very nice to have a very clear filter on what websites are complete garbage for using it. Vivat librewolf + VPN!

          Not that I don’t fully agree actually, but just want to point out that… Not using the web is an outcome they absolutely want. That way only the “right people” are using the Internet so there can be the maximum amount of advertising and money made from each iota of bandwidth they have pried from their hands.

          You aren’t monetizable? Well they don’t want you wasting resources if you won’t increase their paycheck. It’s just the Internet once again being early in resource hording.

    Well to be fair, if google wanted to kill Firefox they could just stop paying Mozilla for using their search engine as the default. That’s basically the only thing that’s keeping them afloat.

      They don’t want to “kill Firefox” though. They want people to use Google products in all forms - using Google through Firefox is better than scattering users to other browsers without a Google default. By forcing users to Chromium they don’t just kill Firefox, they direct users TO ever more Google products in the process.

      It is part of serie “Day 622 of poorly drawn stuff until YouTube brings back the dislike count or a better video platform appears”, they are mostly about internet things.

      comics are an incredible storyboarding-esque medium that you can use to draw and talk about anything. it doesn’t even need to be limited to a 4-panel gag. I love comics

    Can’t lie, although not a solution to the bad part of WEI, pi-hole is looking really really nice…
