It really sucks to be in a world where you have to choose between two vendors for the tools you must use to access most of your life, both of which have clearly stated they are actively working against both your best interests and the best interests of society. Of course, there's an alternative — various third parties, many of which are actively malicious and none of which are remotely reasonable choices when it comes to security, feature parity, or anything else.
Today this is about browsers, but the fact that I have to specify is its own problem.

@dymaxion It looks to me that NASA is in a similar bind RE human access to space. Their choices [so far as I'm aware] are a company run by an undeservedly rich inveterate fascist or a company most recently known for their aircraft suffering multiple incidents.
@dymaxion There's a lot of situations with two bad options competing for which'll hurt and/or inconvenience you the least in the world which is in itself a sad situation to find oneself in.

@dymaxion I thought you were talking about mobile phones until the final line. Our world is sad and broken.
