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.

Like many memes, this one exists outside of the original oeuvre (movie, painting, etc). For instance, I have not see the movie it comes from, it wouldn't makes sense to me if it was the other way around.
Wouldn't this technically work either way? Like "they all are basically the same if you blur your vision a little bit"

Chromium, privacy chromium, corporate chromium, spyware chromium, there’s so much diversity! /s
And come 2024, you won't be able to reliably block ads in any of them.
Firefox is our last refuge.

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.
They'll pry Firefox from my cold dead hands.

iOS be like: they're all safari
The illusion of choice.
The strangle hold of control
Real men telnet to the web server and manually type GET commands and read the raw HTML.
Pft you still have to read the HTML? I just stick a fiberoptic in my ass and download it rectally.

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.

Firefox is the best. There is only Firefox.
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.
And even Safari is a Chrome predecessor (roughly KHTML -> WebKit -> Blink).

There really needs to be a "Linux" of browser engines.
Isn't that gecko, Firefox's engine?
From what I understand, Gecko was a terrible engine from the get-go. It is also difficult to work with, and had a lot of idiosyncrasies that made hard to build anything that isn't just a clone of Firefox. There's a reason why Apple used KHTML as the basis of Safari and not Gecko. Even Brave is based off of Chromium, and the founder of Brave is one of Mozilla's founders!
So apparently no, Gecko is not it. We need something closer to a pure browser engine that is open source.

I'd argue that's what Gecko is tbh

Lol.
- Sent from Firefox Browser
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.
Ah... the first repost I've seen on the threadiverse thus far. I hope this doesn't become a trend.
My colleague in Kronika, reposting on Internet forums is a tradition.

Oops! All Chromium
Bring back Netscape! Actually I would take the old Opera. That was my browser of choice prior to the chrome integration.
Netscape IS Firefox.
Nothing is worse than seeing chromium-based browser users fight other chromium-based browser users. You are all using the same fucking thing!
