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

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 idk how much i agree with this, considering node and electron which have kinda taken over the world run on chrome's browser stack

also i feel like mozilla has been driving themselves into the ground for almost a decade now, they've been laying off countless teams that were behind the only mozilla products really taking off (Rust, MDN web docs, firefox devtools)

not to be a downer and say to give up on mozilla, and give up on firefox. by all means, switch to firefox, and if you're a web developer, ensure your web apps and websites support firefox 100%!!

@sbszine well yeah, i was never defending google or anyone else (those are blatantly evil/greedy). above all firefox/mozilla is still our best option despite everything
