looks like you all get to switch to firefox quantum soon
sure, lol
Google doesn't need to do any of this though
oh yeah you use a custom browser
some stupid percentage of all ad impressions, come from mobile
Most normies don't adblock on phones
there's no reason to piss off the small number of desktop users
who will just circumvent this anyway
I mean... at the most basic level
just run a script, rather than an extension
not to even touch upon the other 100 ways to circumvent this
other chromium based browsers
and to be fair
I use hostfiles and adblocking
so even if it all fails, I still wont see the ads
and you aren't a normie like Pika
@Phijkchu_Pikachu you hear that? you normie
I'd just switch browsers at that point
Even Pika though, can probably manually add an extension
or that
there are 3 step wiki-how tutorials
barring that, they'd probably just use Tapermonkey or something
And then after that, install Brave or some other knock-off Chrome browser
brave ew
Edge is chromium now
or will be soon
Also, looking at what's actually going to """kill""" adblockers
all this means, is extensions need to optimize their shit
why would a normie go for a knockoff instead of just using firefox?
and not rely on bloated lists to block shit
or just use host files
appaK
Leg, sit down for this
No one wants to use FF
I tried FF
it just
isn't what I want it to be
I use FF once in a blue moon, when I need to have 4 or 5 different accounts logged in
why would you do that, just have four different chromes
old ie is the most useful extra browser
chrome, chrome beta, chrome canary, a weird chromium
kappa
old ie genuinely allows you to break a lot of sites now
It's great
Edge has no reason to exist at this point, between Chrome and ie
I just like the fact that
Edge/IE came on all windows
and STILL chrome got as high as it did
I thought browsers would be one of those stubborn people things
where they don't need anything else
everyone has a sane grandchild
and honestly, at this point edge doesn't need to be anything else
The smart, technically inclined, or just people in general are going to use chrome or FF
and edge is just for stubborn fucks
edge is for installing Chrome/FF
and for being the targeted browser for MS help pages so they can assure full functionality
Honestly I wish FF was better
I fucking hate new chrome
and currently I use a weird chromium build with some interesting things
what do you dislike about FF specifically?
some of the UI, how it runs
That it's not chrome
FF, despite my PC being.good
lags sometimes
I can't pretend that I give FF all the chances in the world
for as much as Chrome slowly becomes worse usability wise each update
it's not like FF is at some great point, that negates everything else
my custom shit aside, I'm not switching from something bad to something mediocre
firefox is improving while chrome is regressing
FF may have more stability issues, but that's not the make or break thing

It would take a lot for Chrome to actually get bad enough that people would jump shit
I hate a lot of what they do, but I can't pretend much of it (especially the gay UI stuff) really matters
Downloads keep getting worse and worse on Chrome
but still
are 1000x better than the stupid FF tab
lots of little things like that are what keep me away, FF doesn't nail all the QoL shit that would actually get me to switch
it's a mixed bag, just like Chrome
I like the downloads tab
That is probably my most hated feature of FF
and God
the fact "all downloads" opens a new tiny window
