    Why the fuck does anyone use Chrome? It’s shittier than Firefox in every way and is still a leaky memory hog

            Most definitely intentionally. Everytime I use Google meet it reminds me that because I’m using Firefox I can’t use all the features.

          Have you tried Chrome Mask? It spoofs Firefox as Chrome

            A concerning number of the websites that don’t work in Firefox, do work when you pretend to be Chrome.

          Less tragic and more criminal, since Google uses its marketshare to essentially control the development of the web.

        Me 15 years ago, using Firefox Portable with an Internet Explorer container plugin so I can use trash web apps the organization refuses to update.

      Everyone knows what Google is, therefore its products are superior even when they’re dogshit. No one knows what Mozilla is
