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.
Gord@rodneylives Unfortunately, a large part of the IE exodus was helped because it was a crummy product. I hope we can also do it again with Chrome, but it'll be harder than it was 20+ years ago.
Paul Squires@grs @rodneylives is chrome actually a good product or just the default choice? When i have to use it I don’t see very many positives (one feature that’s handy for my specific work situations though)
@pasquires @rodneylives Good question there my good man. I think for a lot of people, its just the default choice. I've used Netscape, then Mozilla, then Firefox since the 90s, so its always been my browser of choice.
@grs @rodneylives my usual browsing choice is safari - a few things for me edge ahead of Firefox which is my “compatibility” choice. The one area I find chrome works best is with profiles, which are useful for part of my job (hence using it)
I’ve found that so much mandates chrome (even though it will work on other browsers really) - I guess that’s the reason for the default choice
@pasquires @rodneylives Yeah Safari is a great browser. For me since I use Linux, MacOS and Windows together pretty evenly, having Firefox sync all my stuff together across all three is actually really nice for me. Especially when I have the "200+ tab open" nights.
@grs @rodneylives oh yes! And if I needed cross platform I’d be there too but I’m 100% iPhone and mac.
