Memes

The misuse of this meme is one of my biggest meme pet peeves. Have people forgotten that in that scene, his vision is clear when he's not wearing glasses? So the meme should be the other way around.

Honestly, my biggest fear if Apple ever allows other browser engines on iOS is that developers will stop testing on anything other than Chrome. And they will tell iPhone users to "just download Chrome."

I've already heard so many places tell people not to use Firefox or Safari to access their website. It's IE 6 all over again. I hate Chrome and refuse to use it.

Chromium, privacy chromium, corporate chromium, spyware chromium, there’s so much diversity! /s

The illusion of choice.

Lol.

Real men telnet to the web server and manually type GET commands and read the raw HTML.

I hate chromium.

It acts like chrome because IT IS CHROME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Minus the obvious branding and proprietary "Google-y bits" Unfortunately it's the same codebase.

At least Firefox at it's core truly differs.

iOS be like: they're all safari

or, as i call it: Spyware Safari

I feel like we've seen this before..

There really needs to be a "Linux" of browser engines.

This is precisely what makes Firefox so important. It's basically the only other open and independent implementation of the web stack. If Firefox goes away then the web becomes whatever Chrome is doing just how it was in the days when IE was the only game in town.

This will also make Google the gatekeeper for the Internet, and there's a pretty big conflict with an ads company controlling how people consume content online. We've already seen how Google keeps trying to make API changes in the engine that kneecap adblockers.

Of course, people could fork Chrome into a separate project, but maintaining a fork is a herculean effort, and it would basically need the funding and infrastructure that Mozilla already has.

Oops! All Chromium

Nothing is worse than seeing chromium-based browser users fight other chromium-based browser users. You are all using the same fucking thing!

Yeah, ain't this the truth. Firefox and safari are the only browsers that arent chromium based. We must protect Firefox at all coats! Without it, Google would have a monopoly on the browser space... a world I would not like to live in.

You forgot Safari 🧭

Ah... the first repost I've seen on the threadiverse thus far. I hope this doesn't become a trend.

Bring back Netscape! Actually I would take the old Opera. That was my browser of choice prior to the chrome integration.

Cue the chorus of lame excuses as for why people are still using Google Botnet instead of Firefox.

Firefox is the best. There is only Firefox.

Recently switched over to mull browser. Fork of the Firefox browser, works great so far. Also if you are unsure of the security of your browser, could use the website, browseraudit.com, that rates your current browsers. Runs 100+ against several tests and reports back.
