minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish14•2 years agoWhoa. I did a search that would inevitably bring nothing but sponsored bullshit on Google - “best tires” My results were cartalk, consumer reports, cnet, and the consumer insider.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•2 years agoI wonder why Firefox isn’t listed in their mobile web browsers.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•2 years agoThey actually explained that Android browsers must use the Chromium engine. Unfortunately, Mozilla GeckoView is still less secure than Chromium on Android. probably referring to the lack of pre-process site isolation on firefox.
