[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

I'm convinced people secretely hate privacy. To quote Zuck:

Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard

Zuck: Just ask.

Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS

[Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How'd you manage that one?

Zuck: People just submitted it.

Zuck: I don't know why.

Zuck: They "trust me"

Zuck: Dumb fucks

Replace Zuck with Google and it's the same story.

Everyone: NO MORE FUCKING AI

Microsoft: we put it in your breakfast cereal for, y’know, reasons

Google: we painted your rooms with it so it can be . . . fun

Amazon: looks around shiftily, mutters and scurries away

Try Firefox

Or Floorp if you're experimental.

Fuck chrome and chromium.

I use Mull for Android and find it a bit more performant than vanilla Firefox.

The age of "saving your browser history" for convenience is over.

I'm all for anonymous surfing again.

The biggest trick the devil ever pulled was getting us to use our real names on the internet.

Oh fuck no.

Why are people so stuck on using Chromium browsers?

[-] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

Because companies make websites that only run on Chrome. They don't test for Firefox. They don't care.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

Eh, they're pretty rare. Source: me, a full-time Firefox user.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Easier. Just works. Things render and look right.

Dev experience is significantly better than Firefox.

I use both browsers.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

I disagree, I much prefer Firefox's dev tools.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

If this were local and private it could be neato. I will never know, since I have dropped Chrome a long while ago.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

Yup, I've been saying for a while that Firefox should have better tools around using local data. There have been a lot of times where I wanted to find a link I visited, but gave up because the tooling sucks.

ohhh. I see.

Is this header image a subliminal suggestion to use Orion browser?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

That's an interesting connection.

The sparkle emoji is infamous for being associated with AI now.

Orion is a Kagi product, and Kagi is an AI company made to look like a search/browser/T-shirt company.

I have to assume a lot of people don't understand how deep the AI rabbithole for Kagi goes, because I have seen people recommend Kagi to people frustrated with Google's own AI bullshit... They're launching AI features left and right, and they have fully bought into AI being the future of search.

It was the logo of Google Bard (now Gemini).
