@joeo10 @mhoye The browser has an optional business model that Iβve happily ignored for years. The anti-LGBTQ+ complaint is basically because Brendan Eich is against same-sex marriage. Too bad for him. He donated $1,000 in 2008 to support a failed gay marriage ballot initiative. 2008. 15 years ago. Anything since? That by itself doesnβt dissuade me from using a browser. @shepgo@mastodon.social @joeo10@mastodon.sdf.org @mhoye@mastodon.social has he ever addressed the support for Prop 8? I use both Chrome and Firefox and there are demonstrably far more Chrome plugins, and when comparing similar ones most Iβve found are better in Chrome. Firefox realizes so many devs arenβt making plugins for them that they switched to WebExtensions model so some compatible extensions can be imported. @shepgo@mastodon.social @mhoye@mastodon.social I have mostly switched to Chromium on desktop myself. Appreciate that it has Chromecast support. |
@shepgo @mhoye Just letting you know the creator is anti-LGBTQ+ and the browser's business model is crypto.
I use Vivaldi and LibreWolf for the most part at least they're more ethical.
