@Ockham @tante I'd rather use a usable product *now* because it is usable, as opposed to some unusable crap, rather than force myself to the unusable crap because of somebody's speculation what the future of the product might be based on his opinion of those making it.

@bontchev firefox is perfectly usable right now (and implements the same extension model as chromium, as you are well aware), but no-one forces you to use firefox; if you want a nice chromium-based browser, vivaldi is just there.

(saying “i don't care if a service provider is a flaming gobshite who thinks a group of people is subhuman” is a valuable data point, and thank you for doing us that service too.)

@bontchev @tante "Unusable" and "not 100% compliance with 100% of my needs" are not the same. Switching from a produt to another might take some time, especially concerning browsers ecosystems with many integrated account features. And it's not "knowledge free", for some, like older ones, not switching for a long time is indeed really valuable. The "walled garden" actors even made this one of the pillars of their ecosystems.
