And thus the brave lammings set out to inform other lemmings, who are as tech savvy and know this is happening, that this is happening by posting memes. Hopefully the people, who would already be using firefox if they cared, switch to firefox so we can breach the 3% market share and that’ll show Google, maker of Chrome and Firefox’ main sponsor, people care enough to stop this madness! - I’m not against activism, but activism in an echochamber can turn into a circlejerk. Everyone stop stroking please… I’m here for the memes.
Firefox stans are some of the most annoying people.
Yes, I know I’m contributing to a Chromium monopoly, thank you for telling me. Firefox just doesn’t do the things I need my browser to do.
Google stans are ignorant as hell.
LMFAO, you’re an idiot. There’s nothing chrome can do that FF can’t do better.
Who said anything about Chrome?
You verbally abuse me and hallucinate things I didn’t even mention. You’re exactly the kind of person I was talking about.
In this thread lots of uninformed people rationalizing why it’s actually okay to use chromium.
It is ok to use whatever browser you want
I mean, define “ok” in this context
Will chrome kill you? No
Will chrome physically hurt anyone else because you used it? No
Will the internet become less free if google is able to successfully force this? Yes
Does using chrome contribute to this? Yes, marginally
Would as many people as possible switching off of chrome and chromium and onto an alternative help? Yes
I find this whole thing an interesting argument, as someone who switched from chrome to firefox for extremely unrelated reasons months ago.
The same people say “boycotts don’t work”. The facepalming here is hard. Welcome to the ad riddled future that you helped make because “people can use what they like” (because it’s being pushed by a huge corporate entity and they want you to use it so they can shove ads down your throat and you should laugh at people who would use anything different)
