Anthropyevery time I see someone going "I finally ditched #firefox and went with this closed source chromium based alternative instead"
all I can think of is
Xoa Gray@anthropy Not gonna' lie, part of me just kinda' wishes that Google would suddenly fold. Just be gone. It would allow Firefox to get some ground back, and other browser makers to show off their stuff without having to try and fight their way out from under Google's shadow.
One can dream.
sylvie@xoagray isnt firefox funded by google? wouldnt taking down google take mozilla down with it?
(the official website states the majority of revenue is from "web browser search partnerships" (read: google, google (corporation) pays them for making google (search engine) the default))
@sylvie It is largely funded by Google yes. But I think in a situation like that they'd find another way. It might actually cause them to come around and start considering what their users want again instead of burying their heads in "AI" crap.
But even if it did knock out Firefox, it might be worth sacrificing it to take down Chrome. There are new alternatives on the way, but they'll never get anywhere as long as Chrome looms over them.
