John HarrisWe managed to get the world off of Internet Explorer, and it had the OS maker behind it. We can do it again with Chrome.
Darrin West@rodneylives My instinct is Google will try to leverage its dominance of video (YouTube) to frog-boil a lot of users about fascist-Chrome. By making Firefox and Duck Duck Go etc. unpleasant. An alternative video platform that maybe even pays content providers better, would go a long ways to disarming the monopoly.
Clifton RoystonThey're already doing it, or so it's reported - Firefox users are reporting multi-second delays before videos will start playing on YouTube.

I have given up on playing something on yt with my Firefox. It just sits and spins. I just back off. Fvckem.
Travis F W@dbc3 @CliftonR @obviousdwest @rodneylives youtube has a whole ecosystem of ad-free clients. I watch youtube plenty, but usually with Newpipe. Works better than anything.
