I 100% expect websites to soon start breaking their interface on Firefox. With Chromium blocking the best adblockers, they will be incentivized to nudge people to Chromium browsers.
Didn’t we already see Youtube sneaking in a 5 second delay for Firefox users?
Come on, don't you people read what other people write?
There was a reddit post that claimed that, and it was debunked in that same reddit post. Some website made a "news" article about it, citing said reddit post. Bigger news orgs made articles about it citing that website.
There are so many "news" websites that basically don't do any fact checking and use social media as their sources.
My other pet peeve around social media "journalism" is when someone writes an article about a hot take on a political topic and their source is some tweet with like 2 likes and retweet. Like, that's not a radical opinion many people share, stop making it seem like this is a common sentiment amongst the left/right.
