This is your hourly reminder that Brave is still Chromium and still contributes to Google's influence over internet standards.

Iirc Firefox and I think Safari are the only major non-chromium browsers. It makes me so sad because I remember Google’s “don’t be evil” days… man they left that behind

they've lived long enough to become the bad guys

Safari already has attestation, has for a while, so while its at least a different browser, it’s still part of the problem.

The CEO also donated to Prop 8 in California and a number of other bigoted conservative things.

I hate to be a pessimist but if people hate Musk as much as they seem to, but can't leave twitter,

or post "Fuck Spez" thousands of times, but won't leave reddit,

I'm cautious about how much of an exodous I expect to see from chrome.

I think its time we face the fact that most people will trade almost anything for convenience.

If Internet Explorer managed to fall from 96% market share to complete irrelevance, Chrome is not immortal either.

Back then internet users werent normies, but nreds and tech savy people. Also, chrome learned from IE's mistakes. It wont stop functioning and will keep updating, so the average normy user wont mind.

With the way every site is these days, removing adblock is worse than not functioning

The piece that gets continuously underestimated is who moves in these small initial jumps. It tends to be the more technically inclined, who over the next couple years, their recommendations will lead to friends and family moving as well, at a slower rate.

Sure. And here we are. I'm sure these companies consider us a real fly in the ointment. But I'm not inclined to believe the past is perfectly predictive of the future. What you described is also, in my perspective, how things have gone in the past. But will it happen the same way this time? I don't know. I'm not confident based on what I've seen. They are trying to close in the walls on the internet and they are confident that people are too lazy to stop them.

Showing people that they can avoid ads by switching from chromium might make more people use adblockers.

I get flabbergasted whenever I talk to someone and realize they're unaware that such things exist. I hope all (according to the google store entry for ublock origin) 10,000,000 of the ublock origin users switches from chromium based browsers to, say, firefox...

Feels like chromium is the new internet explorer...

I can't believe people still use Chrome, Firefox is better by a mile.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I've been using Firefox exclusively for ages. And also Duckduckgo, I just can't stand the excessive of Google's captcha since I always use VPN.
