As a developer, how do I lend my support to stopping google from trying to steal the web?
Something actionable, something specific to my semi-unique position as a developer?
- davidhyde 7y agoOnly use web technologies supported by the majority of the browsers, not just the majority browser. Basically, use vanilla html5. You can make a perfectly decent website with it. You can play with the shiny (chrome) toys but they should remain curiosities.
- jfk13 7y agoAs a first step, at least: Use and contribute to Firefox (or other non-Blink-based browsers, but there aren't many to choose from...), and encourage those you support/influence to do the same.
- quantummkv 7y agoUse Firefox. And not only use Firefox, but also promote Firefox. Make sure that all your browser screenshots, presentations, etc show Firefox. As a developer you, like many of us might be the family tech support. Switch them to firefox.
- M2Ys4U 7y agoUse Firefox. Try to convince others to use YouTube. Never use features only available in Chrome/chromium browsers.
- robertoandred 7y agoUse Firefox, use Safari. Test in Firefox, test in Safari.
