Because it doesn't make sense for all Firefox marketing material to be how shit chrome is. Save that bullshit for American president elections

It will be exciting to see Kamala and Trump debate whether Gecko or Blink should be the industry leader.

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Kinda off topic, but I find it weird that Kamala is usually referred by first name, and trump by surname.

It's a "brand recognition" kind of thing.

I think it's because that's the more distinctive part of her name. "President Harris" sounds kind of generic, like the fictional president from an action movie.

It may start to constitute a pattern that the same was true of Hillary Clinton, though in that case it was likely that just saying "Clinton" might cause confusion with Bill.

Also Bernie Sanders is mostly referred to by his first name, so…

Trump™ Kamala™

They should get married. Then it would be Kamala Trump

[–] kbal@fedia.io 5 points 10 months ago

Harris can't deny the popularity of Blink. Trump is a die-hard EdgeHTML advocate.

Would it... though?

Not saying anything bad about chrome is probably in the contract they have with Google which is most of their income

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nah I doubt, it would be a huge lawsuit if google was found to pay competitors for staying quiet about their flaws

[–] Trilobite@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

Sure they could sue but that's a lose lose situation even if they won Google would not give them money anymore and they need that to stay in Business

Hold up

American presidents are hating on Chrome? What did I miss?
