I just read the question from the other user why you don’t isolate yourselves and just wanted to say that I’m thankful that you don’t.

It baffles my mind how Lemmy is full of users agreeing that Trump is Putin’s asset and that facebook, xitter and TikTok are full of propaganda but are too afraid to take the necessary stance here, like you are doing.

It must be tiring but you’re doing Lemmy as a whole a big service and I just wanted to let you know that it doesn’t go unnoticed. Thank you!

I doubt you’re getting downvoted for saying that chrome is faster than firefox, but for the irony of using Linux with a Chromium based browser, while being on lemmy.

1. Chromium, while open source, is controlled by Google and a lot of browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Samsung Android, Vivaldi) are built on it, giving it a market share of around 75%.

2. Electron apps are frameworks based on Chromium (ie VSCode).

3. Google is evil and with Manifest V3, Adblockers like uBlock Origin, will eventually stop working for all derivatives (even for Vivaldi).

4. The future: Because Chromium got the de facto monopoly there is no need for Firefox support anymore and the big corpos (ie Microsoft is a sucker for Chromium/Electron) can turn what’s left of the “old” Internet into apps without the ability to block ads or tracking.

5. No “?”, just Profit.
