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.
Kids these days, amirite…
Wouldn’t this technically work either way? Like “they all are basically the same if you blur your vision a little bit”
Yeah, they should have used Rowdy Roddy Piper and his sunglasses from They Live.
meme should be the other way around.
The
imgflipreference at the bottom left is there to remind us that the image should be flipped.
A more appropriate template would have been They Live, right?
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.
And thank goodness that it does
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.
iOS be like: they’re all safari
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.
Which spyware chromium do you mean? Chrome or Edge?
Edge is my guess.
Lol.

The illusion of choice.
Ah… the first repost I’ve seen on the threadiverse thus far. I hope this doesn’t become a trend.

My colleague in Kronika, reposting on Internet forums is a tradition.
Perhaps a repost, but it was new to me so I can’t complain…
There really needs to be a “Linux” of browser engines.
Keep an eye on https://servo.org/
Is that not what Chromium is? An open source browser that anyone can adapt to suit their needs.
People are worried that Google controls the project. Anyone using Chromium is basically making their own version of Chrome but with extra features.
Isn’t that gecko, Firefox’s engine?
From what I understand, Gecko was a terrible engine from the get-go. It is also difficult to work with, and had a lot of idiosyncrasies that made hard to build anything that isn’t just a clone of Firefox. There’s a reason why Apple used KHTML as the basis of Safari and not Gecko. Even Brave is based off of Chromium, and the founder of Brave is one of Mozilla’s founders!
So apparently no, Gecko is not it. We need something closer to a pure browser engine that is open source.
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.
Firefox is the best. There is only Firefox.
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).
Well, you have to support something, managing two browsers in an enterprise environment and supporting all users is enough for most companies, the advantage is not worth it.
Also, it’s company data, i don’t give too many fucks about that, doing something which you want to keep private is a very bad idea on company owned devices anyway. At home or on my phone i know how i can keep my privacy.
Recently switched over to mull browser. Fork of the Firefox browser, works great so far. Also if you are unsure of the security of your browser, could use the website, browseraudit.com, that rates your current browsers. Runs 100+ against several tests and reports back.
Yeah, ain’t this the truth. Firefox and safari are the only browsers that arent chromium based. We must protect Firefox at all coats! Without it, Google would have a monopoly on the browser space… a world I would not like to live in.
And even Safari is a Chrome predecessor (roughly KHTML -> WebKit -> Blink).
Are you serious? Wow, never knew that! Scary!
I’m doing my part, but damn has it gotten janky since the rewrite.
Yeah, I feel you on that.
agreed
Bring back Netscape! Actually I would take the old Opera. That was my browser of choice prior to the chrome integration.
Netscape IS Firefox.
