I really, really don’t understand why people use Chrome, or have been using it in the past
Memes
Rules:
- Be civil and nice.
- Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
I used it for years and just recently switched to Firefox. I was just comfortable using it, and knew how to use the dev tools. I had my extensions set up how I liked. I’m still missing a few things on Firefox but fuck chrome.
What things are you missing?
I keep people saying they're missing things from chrome. I honestly don't get it, if anything I've had more usable features since switching back to FF
It’s really easy to forget that back in the day (by which I mean what, 2010? Idk) chrome was super speedy and very cool with cool fast looking angular tabs and Google was a nice new cool internet company who’s moto was don’t be evil and the alternative was fucking internet explorer which was a cinder block in a blue shirt or Firefox which had a cool logo but was rather slow and the joke was that internet explorer’s whole purpose was to download chrome and I guess what I’m saying is that Google has lived long enough to see itself become the villain, or at least Comcast which is pretty much the same thing and tbh the only other time I can think of that something like this has actually happened is in 1998, when The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table
You dropped these:
..,,..,,
Oh shit thanks I’ve got a hole in me pocket and they keep falling out 🕳️
Goddamn it not on lemmy too
It was faster than Firefox and more accurate than Internet Explorer.
That was a decade ago. Since id say Firefox and Chrome are the same speed and Edge is just branded Chrome.
Chrome used to be new and exciting when Google was still a "do no evil" hip tech company doing neat shit like Google Earth and stuff.
you will buy the useless crap. You will work extra hours to afford it.
I've noticed that the average listed salaries on Indeed have gone down about 30% in the last 2 years, which is great because prices of damn near everything have gone up at least as much.
well how else will the billionaires buy their thirtieth yacht with a docking spot for a smaller yacht?
My future browser will be a terminal prompt
You can use Lynx. Here is the google homepage:
Nice. but Unfortunately WEI will detect the header of the request and block site access even with a terminal browser. The end is near.
Seriously just use Firefox for your browser and Revanced on mobile for youtube
I would not be surprised if regular people tolerated 5+ minute ad breaks for a short video. Too much bs has been normalized for that to be much of a surprise anymore.
Like a frog slowly heating in a pot of water, you can get used to just about anything if you're apathetic enough.
I'll torrent YT videos before I watch ads.
Looks like Black Mirror was not only prediction

I never stopped using Firefox, and I never had a problem with anything but Government sites.
GetFirefox.com
