At this point I am seriously wondering why people would like to use Chrome over Firefox for instance.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (4 children)

I am using Firefox as of last week I made the switch to the browser a different password manager and so far it is fine but there have been a couple of hiccups but it's not necessarily a Firefox issue but an implementation with Android issue.

For example auto forwarding to an app from a webpage in Firefox has worked half the time for me and the other half not so much.

This is a small example, having Google Chrome and like wise the Google app be native to Android so they move back and forth between one another and are interchangeable while using my phone is much more smooth on my Android device.

Other than that, I am not positive as to why. On Desktop, zero issues. Works like a charm.

I use multiple profiles in chrome for my different logged in usages, for some reason Firefox makes it hard to switch profiles.

Advertising company makes it harder to block ads on their browser, news at 11.

Or did anyone forget that they made an explicit effort to block another ad blocking extension a while back, including blocking it from the Chrome store, blocking you from installing it manually and even blocking at least some versions of it from being manually installed in developer mode?

Ad nauseam, because it also simulated ad clicks and thus ruined their metrics.

EDIT: Fucking phone autocorrect. "as clocks" -> "ad clicks".

It's like the reporter went out of his way to not mention ff at the end of the article:

uBlock Origin will continue to work as usual across other browsers, including Microsoft Edge, Opera, and more.

I wonder if the DoJ actually does split up Google if separating Chrome would make any difference with behavior like this?

Chrome on its own does not bring revenue. It would then require donations

I pulled the plug on allowing chrome user agents on my domain.

Granted its tiny but I'm making people switch.

This is the juncture.

P.s. yes I know the cavaets all my services work fine tyvm.

404 Ethics not found. Go be evil elsewhere.

Has a nice ring to it. Though google deserves their own special fuck-you http status. Maybe we can crack the 600s
