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.
Kids these days, amirite...
Wouldn't this technically work either way? Like "they all are basically the same if you blur your vision a little bit"

Honestly, my biggest fear if Apple ever allows other browser engines on iOS is that developers will stop testing on anything other than Chrome. And they will tell iPhone users to "just download Chrome."
I've already heard so many places tell people not to use Firefox or Safari to access their website. It's IE 6 all over again. I hate Chrome and refuse to use it.
They'll pry Firefox from my cold dead hands.

Real men telnet to the web server and manually type GET commands and read the raw HTML.
Pft you still have to read the HTML? I just stick a fiberoptic in my ass and download it rectally.

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.
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.
And much more private, and you can make it more private by hardening it!
iOS be like: they're all safari
Chromium, privacy chromium, corporate chromium, spyware chromium, there’s so much diversity! /s

I feel like we've seen this before.. 
Least we're got support for more fancy CSS properties nowdays, that's something I guess
And Chromium renders transparent PNGs properly. That's also something, I guess.

Lol.
- Sent from Firefox Browser
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).
Firefox is the best. There is only Firefox.
Ah... the first repost I've seen on the threadiverse thus far. I hope this doesn't become a trend.
My colleague in Kronika, reposting on Internet forums is a tradition.

Bring back Netscape! Actually I would take the old Opera. That was my browser of choice prior to the chrome integration.
Netscape IS Firefox.
Nothing is worse than seeing chromium-based browser users fight other chromium-based browser users. You are all using the same fucking thing!

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.

This is precisely what makes Firefox so important. It's basically the only other open and independent implementation of the web stack. If Firefox goes away then the web becomes whatever Chrome is doing just how it was in the days when IE was the only game in town.
This will also make Google the gatekeeper for the Internet, and there's a pretty big conflict with an ads company controlling how people consume content online. We've already seen how Google keeps trying to make API changes in the engine that kneecap adblockers.
Of course, people could fork Chrome into a separate project, but maintaining a fork is a herculean effort, and it would basically need the funding and infrastructure that Mozilla already has.
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.
