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.
Oops! All Chromium
Cue the chorus of lame excuses as for why people are still using Google Botnet instead of Firefox.
we have you surrounded!! come out with your browser running chrome
Firefox gets north of $300-$500 million from Google.
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.

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.

Oh cool. It's the same 5 memes reposted ad nauseam here too. Redditors gonna feel right at home.
The content doesn't come from nowhere. Whenever you're ready to start contributing, feel free.
No contribute, only complain!
Sure, if you count reposts as "contributions" I can easily contribute memes I copy paste from elsewhere.
Won't do it tho.
Be the change you want to see in the world big guy
