ahh its good to have so many browsers to choose from
big boi image caption
all the replies like "but what about [obscure browser]" are missing the point -- these are the most popular browsers in the world. the top eight browsers are all based on three browsers.
you can also be pedantic and say that chrome is also safari, because it was forked from webkit five years ago. you can trace webkit back to KHTML, too, and you can also trace firefox back to netscape, but those distinctions aren't useful for this image. there's a massive difference between chromium and safari.
"Online"@lynnesbian tech pedants have never met a point they couldnβt miss
witchlectical runeterialist@lynnesbian look, ngl, it kind of blows my mind that the two serious choices we have for web browser are "grandchildren of Konqueror" and "great grandchild of Mosaic"
even wilder is i remember using Konqueror once back in its... heyday?... and being like "this isnt bad for a third rate browser nobody uses too bad it will never catch on"
@lynnesbian grandchildren of mosaic, excuse me. internet explorer and netscape/mozilla were cut from the same cloth...
Beko Pharm (deprecated)@anna @lynnesbian same boat. It's mindboogling π
Frinkel, but is a coin@lynnesbian
tbf my lynx mention was a shitpost, and for the sake of my sanity I'm trying to be ignorant of the fact that we're pretty much running headfirst into a Google monopoly of the internet and there's very little I can do about it beyond supporting either Mozilla (which is certainly better in terms of power, but isn't exactly tiny) or freaking Apple.

Marmy β‘@lynnesbian and Chrome and Safari both originate with WebKit...
@lynnesbian
"so my choices are firefox, chrome, or safari"
"actually the chrome ones should say chrome (safari)"

the notorious gzt@anna @lynnesbian and excuse me it's gnu/firefox
Neimand@anna @lynnesbian but tor. I mean itβs the clear choice! unless youβre doing research/academic work, then itβs chrome.

Dale G.@lynnesbian if your so smart,,, make you're OWN browser!!!!!!!

not saying that Linux is anti-feminism but the most important command in it is "man"
@buffaloser *lying bloodied on the floor, several limbs broken, breathing shakily* p-please... leave linux alone...
@lynnesbian Thank You For Actively Supporting The Patriarchy, Lynne
@buffaloser no... m-my Linux Idols... stallman (male)... torvalds (male)... raymond (male)... how could they betray me
@lynnesbian @buffaloser ah yes, eric s raymond, the most important person in the free software movement,
@anna @buffaloser look. i needed a third name to finish off the list. i don't know if you've heard of something called "good writing" but that's what i'm doing here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_three_(writing)
@lynnesbian @buffaloser lynne? sacrificing technical correctness for aesthetics?
i see you have learned well from the negative example provided by richard matthew stallman

LunaTerra - GNU/Girl@buffaloser first off, it's GNU/Linux, and I believe the command you are referring to is called "info"
@lunaterra oh, sorry, I see you're unfamiliar with non GNU-versions of Linux, AKA "True Linux":
Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
ramin@buffaloser @lunaterra ok. Everyone knows that by now. Get muted kiddo.
Beaker browser Is indeed interesting. Still chrome

@Transflux @lunaterra thank u,,,, smiley face

Ben Lubar (any pronouns)replace all the "chrome" and "safari" with Konqueror and all the "firefox" with Netscape

@lynnesbian If you wanted to get really technical to add more, you could rewrite that as Safari (WebKit); Midori (WebKit).
[Moved] Polychrome@lynnesbian ehhhhh to be fair Tor is all about being "Firefox with Tor" so, it's not pretending to be a different browser like the rest of them.
Queer Supervillainess@polychrome @lynnesbian Also managing to upstream their privacy features back into Firefox, slowly, which is hella cool :3
read-only account (Rain π±)@lynnesbian i love how the cost of building a new browser engine is so fricking high that only large companies can afford it, it sure makes the #web such a great open platform, i really just... ~love~... it </snark>
janPiteJansekeI'm now using Brave ... and I'm generally quite happy with it apart from the way it's opening pdf files (it drops the url which is not always appreciable)

keithzg@lynnesbian Payback for everyone dismissing Konqueror back in the day. From hell's heart KHTML stabs at thee!
MK@lynnesbian sigh, I still miss my presto Opera.
Jasper π@lynnesbian There are a bunch of webkit-based browsers too, if you're willing to go off-road.
[email protected] is working on some stuff, not sure how far along we can think that is. https://floss.social/@alcinnz/101371502130317626
Adrian Cochrane (@[email protected])
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] You might be thinking of me, because I'm doing both. Odysseus is WebKitGTK-based and Memex is a new browser engine I'm developing to show how little we have to loose by dropping JavaScript.
matthewsheffield@lynnesbian There's nothing wrong with mosaic.
mona online@lynnesbian imagine not using yandex browser in 2019
Abby@lynnesbian I don't care about the diversity of browser engines because the ones we have are actually pretty good, but we need to actually fucking get Google to follow standards and not just force in whatever they want.
