seems that Chrome has around 60-65% market share, so it’s not totally dominating the market yet but it’s worrying that we’re basically reliant on Apple and Microsoft to hold the line.
Does Firefox not count for anything?
about 10% and falling, but perhaps that can change, I just don’t see how.
Chrome edging towards 70% on desktop, Microsoft has thrown in the towel, Safari obviously rules iOS, Firefox exists only as insurance for Chrome.
Please, please I’m begging you, use firefox.
PLEASE install firefox as a mobile browser and then run adblock on your mobile browser it’s so good I promise.
Look.
Look.
I know I’m a total grind about open source stuff but browsers are the PERFECT place to learn to love open source software and for so long FireFox was a major part of the browser market and sometimes if you want to see what kind of fuckery google is up to it helps to see the kinds of things they block in firefox and just
There’s an organization that makes free, excellent, safe software that doesn’t collect and market your data but for some reason two thirds of the world uses a google product and most of the leftover population uses apple and just
I promise, firefox is so good - the extensions are incredible look - I can use lightbeam to see what sites I use and how they connect to other sites (bottom right should give you an idea how much time I spend on tumblr)
or I can look at ublock origin and see that it’s blocked over 2 million requests since I installed it or I can run the facebook container extension and stop facebook from tracking me and you know what I bet you can do a lot of that on chrome too but you’re doing that while chrome itself is tracking you and gobbling up your activity for google and
firefox is so fuckin great and it’s such a great ambassador for other open source projects please be a big old fuckin nerd with me and use firefox and run a bunch of funky extensions and customize the fuck out of your web experience.
Wanna be a hacker? Firefox.
Wanna use instagram on desktop? Firefox.
Wanna be a killer researcher? Firefox.
Wanna properly credit artists? Firefox.
Wanna read a whole shitload of books? Firefox.
Wanna make video responses to shitlord youtubers?
Wanna shoot cat lasers at bugs?
Wanna use youtube as a music streaming service?
FIREFOX.
I just love firefox okay.
Firefox’s CEO is also homophobic though, so I think I’ll stick to chrome.
That dude was forced to resign in 2014, my friend.
He was forced to resign so hard that conservatives started boycotting firefox.
and you say “I’ll stick to chrome” like Google doesn’t own YouTube, which has repeatedly and frequently censored and demonitized LGBTQIA+ creators, and like Google doesn’t have a history of censoring political dissent in China and isn’t trying to get back to doing the same thing.
If you are concerned about LGBTQIA+ rights and political freedoms of all kinds you absolutely should not be choosing Chrome over basically ANY other browser.
