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

90% of you are in this picture and I don't like it
some of you people still read reddit and it shows. muting this
It's funny because the browser monoculture problem is like one of the few points in life where you can just change a personal preference and make an actual change in the world. It's like if voting with your dollar actually worked, or if switching to plastic straws actually stopped climate change. In the end though we're all gonna die because even something as simple and easy as this is just a bridge too far for people.
@aeva I know you’ve muted this, but I’ve been wanting to switch (from Brave, which I didn’t realize was Chrome when I switched to it) for most of this year, but I’m disabled and my dad died and my mom is sick and my son is also disabled and I’ve got burnout and constant chronic pain and simply *can’t* do this or any of the other dire data hygiene building up. It’s all I can do just to survive.
@corbden it's ok, I'm personally issuing an exemption from feeling guilty about it
@aeva Thanks for listening! I think I just wanted someone to listen.
