The only reason I have chrome even installed is because I am forced to use it for chromecast every once in a while.

I use Ungoogled Chromium exclusively for YouTube, cause my graphics card csn upscale videos and convert them to HDR, but not in Firefox. The moment I get those features in Firefox, I'm done with Chrome for good.

There's a video service my therapist uses that refuses to run in Firefox. I expect it probably could, but it's a lot less work to just launch chrome for that one use case.

Install a user agent switcher. There are several for Firefox and you can spoof chrome.

Preach!

I'm convinced that were it not for Mozilla, microsoft would have prevented google from taking over. We'd be in a shittyworld controlled by the asinine cerification heierarchy of microsoft obfuscation.

MS owned a big chunk of Apple before Safari was a thing and they had crazy drm-ish plans with IE before they got thwacked with the monoploy stick by the feds in the late nineties. Netscape was on the ropes and there was essentially no one left.

I think it's time for Google to be thwacked. Apple too. They're going really anti-consumer in shady ways leading us to a weird new AI/surveillence capitalism led middle ages... Like no new knowledge, education will be towards the new corporate capitalist religion that gets people to serve their lords and noone has money or knowledge but the king and a few of their buddies. They'll grant the shineyist most deluded followers with a meaningless knighthoods that only serve to get that person laid so others will strive to sacrifice for the king so they can win the knighthood lottery and get laid and raisea family in a nice house... Anyway...

It's no good. We gotta skip straight to the next Renaissance where everyone has control over their identity, data and thoughts and can follow their own god in peace and healthy debate. And everone has healthcare and basic needs met and we're all moving towards Star Trek.

Moving towards Star Trek is what made the 90's great... Well, more accurate to say it was the great thing out of the nineties; before the new fascisism riding the 9/11 fear wave and the TSA and before 'enshittification' was a word.

Anyway... What was I sayinf?

Oh yeah Open source all the way!
