Firefox being irrelevant and Safari coming to the rescue against Chrome is a pipedream. Apart from their upper management issues and community unfriendly UI department, Firefox is doing just fine imo.

Firefox's stats look bad because they block trackers by default (enhanced protection) and most news sites and tech "journalist" take a user stats off of a tracking company (statcounter), which depends on script placed on websites to "track" users which is blocked.

Firefox users are also more likely to use superior adblocks and privacy extensions which doesn't do its usage metrics any justice. There are also popular forks which come with these things inbuilt which are still Firefox.

Apple should start allowing alternative browser engine on iOS and also start blocking trackers by default too, since it so overwhelmingly likes to market itself as "privacy friendly" and see how soon its usage stats drop.

This is coming from a Firefox user who remebers the founding of Mozilla and the company name being a combination of Mosaic and Godzilla.

This looks neat. It'll be sweat it it could get

  • tap gestures (double tap -> launch app)
  • Use app shortcuts as icons in pins (My apps shortcut instead of play store app)
  • lock desktop mode

Will use this instead of Neo for a few days to see how it goes.

crickets

I mean I hope they stop, but they didn't stop with all the bad publicity already, what's another setback.

A look at the darker side of MrBeast’s philanthropy and the wider philanthrocapitalist model it's a part of. Looking specifically at #teamseas and a partnership with Jennie-O, I attempt to untangle how corporations and conglomerates like Coca-Cola, chemical and oil companies, and big meat monopolies all have a vested interest in financing certain ‘philanthropic’ projects while side-lining others. This is a story that takes some surprising twists and turns, from whitewashing, greenwashing & ‘funwashing’ sponsorships, to illegal price-fixing, an endemic of farmer suicides, and leaked corporate emails to influence charities. Examining the roots and consequences of ‘philanthrocapitalism’ tells us a lot about how lobbying works under modern capitalism. This is a long video, but it’ll be worth it to tell this story properly.

If she lives, she'll say Jesus saved her

These articles are very easy to write and you can see how emotional people get. You don't need proof and it always works.

Everytime there's an article about what "China/Russia/India/North Korea/or Whatever Says", social media goes:

haha, so fake!

fake news

imagine believing this

propaganda bs

where's the proof?

we only believe in hard facts

no credibility

chinese/russian bots brigading lmao

astroturfing

And then whenever there is "US Says"

so true

I know someone who knows someone who was doing this

I had a gut feeling about this

The boogeyman is real

They're stealing our tech

They're coming for us

We have to renounce them

They're destroying our economy

Enemy #1

They're ruining our western values

US is numba 1

NO FUCKING PROOF REQUIRED!! Anyone questions?

why would they release the evidence, it's classified

I mean fuck all authoritarian regimes, but it's funny to see how social media (especially in US) reacts to these articles and riles them up. Also great for election season.

Standard hypocrisy from propaganda rotted brains at work

 

We've all heard of the dreaded "Rail Replacement Bus". But what if we had Rail Replacement Helicopters instead? Well, in one small village in central Switzerland, they already do
