I have used Firefox for years, and for no problem. This isn't a general tech advice community. It's a degoogling community.

If you're uncomfortable with us recommending other projects not led by or influence by google, is it really the right place for you?

It's a fork of Chromium, so Google will add it. They'll have to specifically remove it.

Also, if companies are considering implementing WEI, they will look at most of their users on chromium users and say, we most of our users are on Chromium, so the risk is low.

The CEO can say what he wants, but it doesn't affect whether companies will roll this out. Google can not be trusted to drive web standards, and chromium needs to stop being used if we are to make it clear to website owners that they cannot simply support Chrome/Chromium only.

Subscribed. Keep up the good work :).

Beat me to it with F-Zero. What a game.

There wasn't any really in that thread. You brought it up.

I'm sure you'll warn OP, and another OP, and another OP, and another OP, and after getting any response, blame Firefox fanboys for beaing unbearable...

Out of a quick glance (really quick), I found this: https://lemmy.ml/comment/2915403

It seems you're throwing rocks and getting surprised when people generally respond. You cannot complain about fanboyism when you're trying to start fires. If you don't want those conversations, maybe don't start 'em.

I get that when you bash Firefox on reddit, you can start a circlejerk, but you don't get the same response here and it's as much to do with you being used to the biases of reddit.

There is quite a bit of bias on reddit that makes it quite uncomfortable for some of those people. Quite often Linux, Firefox and great open source software is bashed. It can be quite disconcerting to be in a different environment, but it isn't solely because of the views and biases of those on Lemmy. It's also significantly down to the views and biases of those one reddit also.

A lot of open source advocates do tend to be inclined to open source software on an open source link aggregator.

Signed, Open Source entusiast. :)

Oof, I can imagine that sucks. Come join us on [email protected] :) Everyone seems quite enthusiastic about finding alternatives. I'm all about the Firefox, GrapheneOS, Proton Mail, Signal, Element etc. :)

I think it seems fair enough. If Unreal are making the tools that are benefitting those industries, it's right that they financially contribute like game devs would.

One thing I've noticed about the alternatives subreddit, is there is a lot of people persuading people against alternatives. It's almost like there was some organising to persuade people there was no alternative.

I mean, when you factor in you'd probably get removed, or shadow-banned, or have your posts removed for mentioning Lemmy, it feels like there is a multifaceted approach to discouraging folk from leaving the reddit teet.

While there is an element of truth, it's scattered in with exaggeration and only focussing on negatives. The objective was to say Lemmy bad, staying good.

No way is Lemmy more toxic than reddit. I find those "well ackshually" folks are much less here.

Fair points. I appreciate the response.
