It's the unfortunate truth. Nobody gives a shit about Firefox, not even Mozilla. Safari is the only major non chromium browser. You get rid of it and Google basically has full control of web standards and we've come full circle.

I use Firefox because it is the only mobile browser worth a damn. Mozilla screwed up by wasting resources on FirefoxOS and other projects that had no business case in the early days of mobile browser adoption, but they eventually got their act together and started supporting extensions and other differentiating features that people want. They're still slow-walking container support, but nobody else has that either.

Oh its 'true' but does the pain of having to use Safari make up for some sort of benefit of having a non-chrome browser?

I really appreciate that you sacrifice your happiness in favor of Apple profits so I can have multiple browsers competing against chrome.

Thank you.

  • I daily use Safari on MacOS and iOS, and regularly use Edge on MacOS and Windows 11. I really don't notice a difference, other than I find the dev tools in Chromium browsers more familiar and overall better.

    • You are happy to sacrifice your freedom and you don't notice a difference?

      Have you considered you are just rationalizing your condition rather than having a genuine take?

      Its easier to cope with the idea that you've chosen this 'freedom', than to realize you don't have it.
