Breaking: Scorpion stings frog.

As I keep saying: maybe using a web browser owned by the world's largest advertising company is a bad idea.

Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome: Don't let Chrome's big redesign...

@jwz@mastodon.social Just use Firefox y'all. Maybe Mozilla has had a few problems, but nothing like this! It's faster than Chrome, better than Chrome, and it's #FOSS... completely unlike Chrome.

@jwz Edge is no better. I don't know about Safari. If you want to use Firefox, you're going to need to troubleshoot websites / add-ons from time to time.

IMHO it's worth it, but I've got almost 25 years of experience working with open source projects.

@AlgoCompSynth Well, Edge is based on/forked from Chromium.

Safari/Webkit is OK, though they really deprecated the plugin support years ago meaning a lot of ad blockers stopped functioning. ;-/ Thankfully, not all of them. I think there are more Mozilla/Firefox forks than Webkit though, and the number of Chromium forks surpass both of them AFAIK.
