ars technica: we don't know how they did it but google chrome now extracts a pint of blood every time you log on

chrome user, dizzy from blood loss: I swear to god I am like this close to switching to firefox

another chrome user, on the verge of fainting from severe blood loss: no need to resort to that, just switch to [insert today's trendy chrome fork here] and be smart like meeee

@aeva funnily enough, I remember a poll on Mastodon (pre Musk migration) where Firefox turned out to be the majority browser, which surprised me a lot. May be it's time to run a new one.

@isagalaev normally I'd question the wisdom of putting too much trust in a social media poll but I haven't had a single enraged person in my mentions frothing about how firefox killed jfk or something so I think you might be on to something with this "[this corner of] mastodon is mostly cool people" theory of yours

@aeva I wouldn't go as far as characterizing people based just on that, but it's an interesting data point nonetheless.

@isagalaev 80 boosts in 2 hours? I'd have like three people blocked by now minimum if this was Shitter

P.S. anyway, I just ran such a poll
