Good post. I've given up on the tech community though. They don't care about what's right. If chrome is faster, they use chrome.

- bergheim 5y agoI agree (and of course I know of the Mozilla things). I remember years ago when things began to really go off the rails. I saw a Nike commercial which for the first time did not say "nike.com", but: "facebook.com/Nike". Man I was bummed. If companies like that have to resort to this, it's over. Pity we couldn't (again, myself included) protect the free internet.
- moate 5y agoEverything old is new again. Anyone remember AOL and its entirely contained ecosystem? I think the first two searches my 12 year old brain came up with were Superman (took me to DCs AOL listing) and Playboy (which took to long to load for me to risk someone walking in). Everything is terrible, but everyone knows this and hates it. Eventually something will happen (and this feels more likely as facebook takes put these insane “we support regulation” ads) that will make things marginally better. Governments are designed to move VERY slowly, and they’re the only things capable of taking on megacorps.

- daveguy 5y agoIt's not a matter of it being faster for me. It's a matter of it being more stable. I used Firefox for years, but when my extensions started breaking with FF updates I switched. I tried again recently, but now it's the extensions.
