i have seen a lot of firefox hate here lately and i am perplexed
i switched back to firefox in like 2020 and other than the instacart issues i posted about a few months ago and a handful of (usually super old) corporate sites that i have ungoogled chromium around for (it gets used very rarely) both the desktop and mobile apps have been... fine 🤷 there was a brief golden age of sites working on most browsers but that time is gone - mainly due to google
plus google slowly killing ad blocking functionality in chromium and rug pulling other features like helpful omnibox search in pursuit of slightly higher ad metrics seems far worse than a few buggy sites
or how they force integrated user data and google logins into their browser, or how they built entire systems to track you without cookies just so they could shut down cookie tracking in order to force more people onto their ad platforms
if you regularly use sites that are broken on firefox or its an accessibility issue for you, or even if you just prefer chromium, that is fine too, but i have seen some surprisingly vitriolic posts from people in just the last week and i just feel like i needed to provide a counterpoint
it just really surprises me, i wonder what everyone is experiencing that this is coming up so hard lately
please note: while a post today pushed me over the edge to post this, it was not vitriolic or even a particularly negative one! i am not calling anyone out here
And its demon overlord Google too
(seriously they've done so much to make not just the internet but also computing in general worse. Like, stop that, for fuck's sake.)
