Ok, I get all the hate towards google chrome. But pragmatically speaking, will this boost firefox? I feel like even nowadays a ton of people don’t even know about adblockers, I’m not sure if they will do the switch to a whole different browser…
Thank you for the info!! Still, given the current status of the web, 42% seems like too little. I guess it’s just a matter of waiting for the word to spread even more
Talk about misunderstanding your user base… The backlash will be tremendous. I’m considering banning Chrome at work because of the security risk of letting business people use the Internet without the protection of an ad blocker.
I was doing some work on the social security site and the site i needed wouldn’t even load unless it was chrome or edge. There are sadly too many important website that are somehow allowed to gatekeep browsers. I feel like if their site follows guidelines then there’s no reason they should be restricted from browsers, but here we are.
Never thought this would be the thing that drove me to degoogled myself, but here we are. I put myself back in an apple silo purely out of spite. Converted all my gmails to other services, like hey.com and tutanota, I PAY a search engine now Kagi.com.

It’s roughly a month that I switched to firefox on pc and android and I’ve never been happier!
Google Chrome can suck a dick.

chrome keeps locking up my win11 today. posting from ff now, again. gg google
To abuse a saying…
Google Chrome will limit your digital rights starting June 2024
Wait, not “starting,” my bad.
In other news: Firefox installs are breaking records.
Is that true? I would love for more people to experience Firefox

Google Chrome has always been near my taint
If only there was an alternative. Some kinda fox. A fox that was set aflame
LoLL
Or, let’s say, a weasel frozen in ice
Or - ohh I don’t know - some kind of frozen bird?

I wish it was for me, but Chrome is necessary for some work I do.
Edit: very weird I get so many downvotes because I need to use a specific browser. Get out more, please.
So use Chrome for that work, and Firefox plus an adblocker for everything else.
My adblocker works in Chrome at the moment so will see.
Such as?

Platforms I use don’t work reliably with other browsers, online teaching ones to be specific.
Pretty much every internal Web application I’ve used in banking, insurance and Govt orgs.
Will this affect chromium based browsers too

They really burned my soul. Fuck Google.
Why not switch to Linux and FOSS alternatives?
I’ve done Linux desktops, and I fight with them too much. Macos is fine by me. Mad respect for Linux users though.
Non android Linux phones just don’t feel ready.
Comfy leashes I guess.
