Hasn't worked for me yet.
But hey, I still get Firefox out of the deal

The misuse of this meme is one of my biggest meme pet peeves. Have people forgotten that in that scene, his vision is clear when he's not wearing glasses? So the meme should be the other way around.
Like many memes, this one exists outside of the original oeuvre (movie, painting, etc). For instance, I have not see the movie it comes from, it wouldn't makes sense to me if it was the other way around.
oeuvre
Today I Learned a new word.
Wouldn't this technically work either way? Like "they all are basically the same if you blur your vision a little bit"
A more appropriate template would have been They Live, right?
Kids these days, amirite...
meme should be the other way around.
The
imgflipreference at the bottom left is there to remind us that the image should be flipped.Yeah, they should have used Rowdy Roddy Piper and his sunglasses from They Live.
Real men telnet to the web server and manually type GET commands and read the raw HTML.
iOS be like: they're all safari
Sad truth.
I hate chromium.
It acts like chrome because IT IS CHROME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Minus the obvious branding and proprietary "Google-y bits" Unfortunately it's the same codebase.
At least Firefox at it's core truly differs.
And much more private, and you can make it more private by hardening it!
The only reason Chromium exists is because Google is bound by the original license when they bought it, which is copyleft. So they have to release an open source version, which is Chromium. Google Chrome is their flagship product and is proprietary and hence is the one that bears the Google branding and colours.
Lol.

There really needs to be a "Linux" of browser engines.
Keep an eye on https://servo.org/
Isn't that gecko, Firefox's engine?
From what I understand, Gecko was a terrible engine from the get-go. It is also difficult to work with, and had a lot of idiosyncrasies that made hard to build anything that isn't just a clone of Firefox. There's a reason why Apple used KHTML as the basis of Safari and not Gecko. Even Brave is based off of Chromium, and the founder of Brave is one of Mozilla's founders!
So apparently no, Gecko is not it. We need something closer to a pure browser engine that is open source.
I'd argue that's what Gecko is tbh
Well, if you're on linux, there's gnome web, but, It's not very good
Is that not what Chromium is? An open source browser that anyone can adapt to suit their needs.
We have that, it's called chromium.
Recently switched over to mull browser. Fork of the Firefox browser, works great so far. Also if you are unsure of the security of your browser, could use the website, browseraudit.com, that rates your current browsers. Runs 100+ against several tests and reports back.
What's the fork have under it's belt that makes you like it? I just tried Firefox again and it lacks a few nice features I'm used to, but overall seems pretty quick. It didn't want to stay logged in but that could have been operator error on my part.
Nothing is worse than seeing chromium-based browser users fight other chromium-based browser users. You are all using the same fucking thing!
"It's funny to see people who use cars with V-8's argue about other models and makes of cars with V-8's, you're all using the same fucking thing!"
See how absolutely stupid as fuck that sounds? Cause all cars are different even though they use virtual identical model of engines? That's what you sound like.
I believe it would be a valid concern, if those V-8 engines were all designed and manufactured by the same company. Sure, one could modify it's design to suit their needs, including removing things they may not like about the base design, but that can't be sustainable when those changes won't be supported by mechanics, and when companies using those cars forbid the use of cars with modified engines.
Firefox is the best. There is only Firefox.
Yeah, ain't this the truth. Firefox and safari are the only browsers that arent chromium based. We must protect Firefox at all coats! Without it, Google would have a monopoly on the browser space... a world I would not like to live in.
And even Safari is a Chrome predecessor (roughly KHTML -> WebKit -> Blink).
Are you serious? Wow, never knew that! Scary!
I'm doing my part, but damn has it gotten janky since the rewrite.
Yeah, I feel you on that.
I for one will go coatless for the foreseeable future
agreed
You forgot Safari 🧭
As someone who is a frontend engineer, Safari is the new IE11
Safari isn't a chrome based browser though?
Neither is Firefox. That's the joke...
or, as i call it: Spyware Safari
Hey. That's not fair. Safari deserves quite a bit of credit for being spyware
Oops! All Chromium
Meanwhile, our IT department is blocking every browser except for Chrome and Edge. It is infuriating, because out of the list, these two are my least favorite to use (putting it mildly).
Well, you have to support something, managing two browsers in an enterprise environment and supporting all users is enough for most companies, the advantage is not worth it.
Also, it's company data, i don't give too many fucks about that, doing something which you want to keep private is a very bad idea on company owned devices anyway. At home or on my phone i know how i can keep my privacy.
Cue the chorus of lame excuses as for why people are still using Google Botnet instead of Firefox.
Where is Netscape!
Firefox, in particular the Gecko browser engine, goes back to development at Netscape.
And we have safari too!
To be fair, WebKit is just Blinks (Chromium) sibling. I'm not sure if KHTML is proud or not.
Blink has diverged enough from WebKit that they are separate engines now. KHTML has been sadly laid to rest.
It’s a miserable state of affairs that we are effectively down to just 3 browser engines now, Blink, WebKit and Gecko. But with the ever increasing scope and complexity of web standards I don’t see that changing, unless someone throws a lot of extra support at the Servo project.
Bring back Netscape! Actually I would take the old Opera. That was my browser of choice prior to the chrome integration.
Netscape IS Firefox.
Librewolf where 🥺
So can someone confirm if 'they' ever got Chromecast access functional in Firefox yet? Last time I looked into it and tested it out the plugin or fx_bridge or whatever it was called was years ago and it never managed to work, which is the sole reason why I haven't switched to Firefox.
I mean, proprietary Google platform gonna proprietary Google platform.
Chromium has that feature. Not only Chrome. So it can't be closed source.
Ok, so this is my setup.
Work laptop: Forced to use chrome so switched to degoogled chromium. Personal PC: Windows and Linux: Use librewolf on my personal machines. iPhone: Use Firefox on my iPhone Android: I use Bromite (Chromium based) on my Android phone.
So, it's basically using the best I could find for each job. I cannot defend either of those as the only reason I continue to use them is because I am used to the interface.
How are you dealing with the ads when using firefox on iOS? afaik you can't install addons there
Sorry. We just need to do one small thing to keep going.
Is so annoying though..
The engineering effort required to write and maintain a browser engine is insane. I'm not surprised everyone jumped on the Chromium bandwagon.
If you want to fix this, web standards need to become much simpler again.
What about opera incorporating chat.gpt in the reaserch? Why not do it in all
Add www.ecosia.org to that list. Or at least their browser.
Firefox gets north of $300-$500 million from Google.
we have you surrounded!! come out with your browser running chrome
Diversity in rendering engine is so important to the health of the web
God damn I thought I saw the last of these stupid browser takes on reddit, chromium is open source and we've seen multiple browsers (Brave, Vivaldi, I think librewolf) using its potential to remove themselves from the chromium baseline and build out their own fork with ad blocking services that didn't go down when manifest V3 happened.
There's no "browser monopoly" anymore than there's a "V shaped engine" monopoly in cars. Why don't people use Gecko more? That's like asking why people don't use rotary piston engines in cars, you could, it's just garbage. Gecko isn't the standard because no one wants to build a web browser with it.
Speaking as a web dev; it still sucks when the whole world has coded against a piece of software, rather than a standard, even if that software currently has a relatively permissive license.
Take Microsoft; they decided they didn't even want to maintain their own engine. This ultimately means they're generally relying on the core maintenance of the main Webkit channel, and probably not scrutinizing its workings all that much, as they just work on new features.
Oh cool. It's the same 5 memes reposted ad nauseam here too. Redditors gonna feel right at home.
Should be They Live glasses not Peter Parker anyway.
My thought exactly.
So? Brave is way better than today's Firefox. And I say that after being an avid FF user for almost 19 years. I refuse to go back to it or to fuel the shitshow and cash-grab which is Mozilla nowadays.
A chromium based browser is not better.
Can you give some examples? I've barely heard of Brave. I'm also an avid FF user. I like the customisation possibilities with add-ons, but nowadays chrome and it's derivatives support also an impressive amount of those. Maybe it's time for a switch.
What makes it better?
