Google is weakening ad blockers as part of their MV3 extension standard and this will trickle down into all Chromium browsers. Built in ad blockers lack features compared to uBlock Origin as well.

You missing the part where some people still have to use Chrome for certain things?

Sneering about how they should use other browsers does not help them.

Nor is the lung cancer thing helpful, so much as it is an utterly absurd comparison.

The more people use Firefox, the better. Lots of people had to use Internet Explorer for things… Until they didn’t because Chrome was faster and web devs focused on browser-agnostic technologies.

The only thing I need a Chromium based browser for is casting my totally legit streams of sporting events to my TV.

I don’t disagree. But there are cases where Chrome is either the only option, or sometimes even just a better option.

Having a go at people for not using Firefox is not the way to get them to use Firefox. It’s a way to get them to feel like they’re not part of the club.

That might just be a question of the User Agent being sent with requests, i.e. a lot of apps / websites were coded up with the assumption that Firefox / Gecko does not support certain features (which is mostly nonsense). Switching the user agent to Chrom(e|ium) resolves the issue most of the time.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
