So that's that: Firefox is now the only useful browser in the world.

Meanwhile, Google controls nearly the entire web browser market, far more than Microsoft ever did at the height of the original browser wars.

Using Chromium based products makes you less safe.

@mav
The only reason "#Chrome" dominates the browser market is b/c it comes preinstalled on every #Android phone & Chromebook.

Exclude those, and only count browsers that people take the time to install & use, and their market dominance would be a fraction of what the numbers claim.

Before #Firefox, I used Netscape. So I guess I've been a #Mozilla user since the beginning.

@markstoneman
These changes are being made to Chromium. They will affect all chromium based browsers unless those browsers find ways to revert the changes.

@FranckLeroy the most remarkable thing about the whole system is people are still advocating burning down the whole planet to use it, which you can see in this thread.

Technologists *really* don't care about humans, or the environment, or anything except money.
