The chrome's developers themselves are explaining why you should *not* use their browser: https://contrachrome.com/

@fla I thought these were not the words of the Chrome developers, but a rearrangement and rewriting of an old open source comic? I agree with the message, not really with the method, it's a bit misleading…
@lamecarlate more than misleading indeed. Super weird way to do it.

Subverting their own materials is the coolest thing to do!

Yes. Especially the Firefox part. Aside from Mozilla's telemetries (no one can be really sure they never sell user data), it literally uses Google Safe Browsing and Google Search as default. More about Firefox can be read on this blog: https://digdeeper.neocities.org/ghost/mozilla.html

The comic is very cleverly arranged (in a bad meaning), embedding the political messages at the "solution" part. And also the comic is hosted with Cloudflare.

@lamecarlate
It's created by the same artist Google orginally hired to make the chrome explainer comic, so no it's not the chrome developers,however it's also not just modifying the original comic.
@fla

@Blort Contrachrome seems to be made by Leah Elliott, not Scott McCloud.

> With her meticulous rearrangement of Scott McCloud‘s Google-commissioned Chrome comic from 2008, she delivers what she calls „a much-needed update“.
