It really sucks to be in a world where you have to choose between two vendors for the tools you must use to access most of your life, both of which have clearly stated they are actively working against both your best interests and the best interests of society. Of course, there's an alternative — various third parties, many of which are actively malicious and none of which are remotely reasonable choices when it comes to security, feature parity, or anything else.

Today this is about browsers, but the fact that I have to specify is its own problem.

@dymaxion that made me look up the statistics and o boy do I live in a bubble. If it’s use on “big” devices like laptops I know very few people who use Chrome, Safari or Edge. Seems like that is very strange https://gs.statcounter.com/browser-market-share maybe it’s due to my profession but in my personal circle of friends and coworkers I would have put firefox at 70% with the rest a mix of Chromium, Opera, Safari (mostly on apple phones) and some Chrome.

Yup! I'm actually surprised Safari is that high now — I guess Apple's investment there is paying off.
@dymaxion I’m more surprised at chrome. Apple makes a decent share of phones and most don’t switch their browser on their phone. And for most apple laptops it’s the same. But I don’t even remember the last time I saw Chrome in active use on a PC or laptop.
@martinschlegel
Part of this is work, remember — every org that I've worked with over the past eight years that was mature enough to be managing browser extensions etc has been chrome-only.
