[–] klobuerschtler@lemmy.world 70 points 1 year ago (2 children) Just ditch chrome. Done. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (2 children) That is impossible for many people for the same reason why they still on Xitter, etc. They believe, that with enough willpower, the people ruining our software infrastructure can be convinced for the better. And also many people still believe that if you criticize their "meme browser" made by the cool "don't be evil" company, you're a Microsoft shill forcing them to use IE, that is buggy and slow. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 year ago (1 child) It blows my mind how many people use chrome over edge thinking that they are making super smart choice. I feel like I was still seeing memes on reddit making fun of Edge over Chrome. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 child) And here I am, seeing both as equivalent. I honestly don't see a meaningful difference between Edge and Chrome... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago To be clear, that’s exactly what I mean. I use Firefox, but I find the edge vs chrome debate amusing. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 child) And also many people still believe that if you criticize their "meme browser" made by the cool "don't be evil" company, you're a Microsoft shill forcing them to use IE, that is buggy and slow Which I find absolutely hilarious, as Edgemium is a better browser than chrome. I still use Firefox first and foremost, but at work when I have to use something else, it performs better and has better features IMO. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) They're the same browser though. They use the same rendering engine, same JavaScript engine, etc. There are more similarities than differences. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 child) They're the same browser though. They actually aren't the same browser, since MS rips out some stuff and adds their own. Including features I like tree style tabs. It's a similar and derivative browser, but they aren't the same. There are more similarities than differences. You can say the same about tons of things, but the differences are what matters. You and I share more similarities than differences, just like the browsers, but we aren't the same person. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) They're the same in the ways I care about, which is rendering and javascript engines.

Again, just because it's a derivative browser doesn't make it the same browser. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 year ago I kinda think it does. I use a gecko browser as my main, and I use a chromium browser as my backup. I don't use most of the default features, I just need a handful of extensions, and those are available everywhere. So to me they're pretty much the same. Brave is a little different since it embeds an ad blocker, but besides that, the rest of the chromium browsers are equivalent for me. permalink fedilink source parent [–] CatDogL0ver@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago I use Firefox when ads are overrunning my screen permalink fedilink source parent
