"It’s worth noting that #Firefox is the only mainstream browser built on an independent, #opensource browser engine whose roots don’t go back to Apple’s #WebKit engine. Google based its Blink engine on WebKit, and Blink powers both #Chrome and #Chromium, the open-source browser upon which most other modern browsers are built, including #Opera, #Brave, and Microsoft #Edge."
if Chrome decides to charge people monthly for usage of the browser,
poeple will pay.
I can already see the stupidity.
There are better, free, open source, chromium based browsers. so many of them.
but people will pay for Chrome subscription.
I can't believe it.
I'm getting pissed on something that didn't even happen.
but rightfully so. #chrome#browsers
I'm so fucking tired of the holier-than-you posers here.
You know which ones I'm talking about. The "Don't use Google!" The "Don't use Chrome!" The "Don't Federate with Threads." The "the Fediverse should be Opt-In." and more
Shut up! Just shut up!
You're killing the place. You're the reason why nobody new wants to join and many people are leaving.
Sometimes I'm afraid that it is even your goal. You want us to leave so the Fediverse can be back to being a circlejerk of a few thousand people who think they're social justice warriors because they're sharing the same outrage at everything over and over again and calling out people who don't think exactly like you.
@svmetasearch I understand political and technical reason.
It's just talking to people in their language helps to explain things.
Imagine asking some random grandma on street "Do you prefer Ubuntu or Arch?".
Probable scenario how she would react is easy to guess.
There is just a much bigger chance that "average viewer" heard #Firefox at least once.
In message target is "get rid of #Chrome", so using Firefox is more likely going to happen. (1/2)
The Privacy Sandbox Analysis Tool in #Chrome seems like perhaps a less intimidating lead into exploring upcoming #cookie challenges - and bringing client/other dept. buy-in. Cheers @rowan_m ! #FrontEndSheff
#AdBlockers will be limited to 30,000 rules … no more
They will no longer be able to update themselves daily, but only when new versions of extensions are published (which Google sometimes takes up to 3 weeks to validate)
To sum up, #AdBlocking extensions will always be late on websites, and in any case will not have enough rules to cover all sites.
Honestly, I had no idea DuckDuckGo had its own web browser lol. This article reminded me to try out DuckDuckGo's search engine again, and compare its search results with those of Google Search. I was actually surprised to find out that DuckDuckGo churned out way better search results. I'm definitely gonna use it instead of Google from now on.
One thing that annoys me in the #Chrome implementation of #PWA is that while the PWA can have a share intent (which is used by Android to be able to share something onto the app), there's nothing in Chrome that consumes that.
I can't just right click on a link I want to share and have it open in Mastodon or share to my Tagger. Only extensions are added there, so I get Google Drive and Wallabag only :/

Firefox looks so much better than Chrome (tux.social)
A little admiration of how easy UI customization is on Firefox, and how shitty Chromium looks.
