Switched back to Firefox. Easy transition. Fuck Google.

Except websites that will tell you "Use a modern browser, switch to Chrome to view this page".

This sort of thing is becoming more and more pervasive. I'm genuinely worried that between this and web DRM, there will be no where to hide from corporate America ducking everyone over with their greed.

I've been using Firefox for over 5 years now and I don't think I've ever seen this message?

There has been a handful of times when a page just won't work correctly and I have to switch to edge, but that is super rare and has probably been less than 10 occasions

the feature they just implemented will start to trigger this. there is a hardcore push for corporate to go all in on chromium for tracking/drm reasons similar to how IE had that market in the past. as a firefox user im kinda terrified were out of options.

were not talking about what the experience was, but what it will be
