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…
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.
Guess you have enough fiber in your diet.
iOS be like: they’re all safari
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).
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.
It’s already worse than that. I’m a web developer and if a user has an issue using their iPhone, I tell them not to use their phone.
Just about all my coworkers develop in Chrome and, while I prefer Firefox for the same reason as you, I have to make sure my code works in Chrome because that’s our target.
I hate how everybody seems to be OK with this because Chromium is nominally open-source, when that ended up being the whole reason we are in this mess.
Being “open source” seems to be lead people to think it is altruistic or good for the community as a whole.
Being open source is really just a categorization. A fully for profit organization can make something valuable open source and then leverage that for commercial reasons (like building highly monetized additional code on top).
It is in Google’s best interests for Chromium to dominate the web even if it is open source due to Chrome’s broad reach and Google’s heavy leverage of the web for revenue, like its ad services.
It is shortsighted to see what is happening and then go “well I don’t see a problem”.
this is why I still have to have Chrome installed
Yes, it’s a sad state of affairs that Apple’s restrictions on iOS and iPadOS browsers are the only thing stopping an effective Google monopoly over web browsers. Ideally Firefox would still keep things in balance, but Mozilla doesn’t seem to know what it’s doing these days in terms of building market share - and I say that as a long time Firefox user.
I still remember the IE 6 era, and I hope we never see a single browser dominate the web again. To those wishing Apple would be forced to open up, be careful what you wish for.
First time someone defends Apple, and for a good reason too.
Oops! All Chromium
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.
Chromium, privacy chromium, corporate chromium, spyware chromium, there’s so much diversity! /s

And come 2024, you won’t be able to reliably block ads in any of them.
Firefox is our last refuge.
You forgot Safari 🧭
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.
Bring back Netscape! Actually I would take the old Opera. That was my browser of choice prior to the chrome integration.
Netscape IS Firefox.
Lol.

The illusion of choice.
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.
The biggest difference is that Chromium is an open source project.
Sure, it’s open-source, but Google essentially controls it. That is literally why they forked WebKit. And websites are starting to rely on Chromium’s quirks. Firefox and Safari will have to choose between following standards or Google’s quirks. Not ideal at all.
