I think that this will mostly be used by people in the tech, FOSS and gaming sphere. And when it comes to monetization, setting up a system as big as Google's is impossible, so, I don't know what percentage will move completely, if any.

I'd argue it will become like Facebook, with the younger and more intelligent crowd leaving the site.

You can make Firefox crazy fast if you fiddle with the settings and with the ublock origin enough. There's no reason to be using Chromium unless you're daily driving a website that doesn't support the Gecko engine

How about downvoting?

Make fun of his surname all you want, but without his inventions we wouldn't have smartphones the way we do today.

I only have three extensions - uBlock Origin, a 3rd party password manager, and SponsorBlock. A fairly minimal setup with only the things I need. Even the Return YT Dislikes extension is not as necessary as people would think.

There is a $5/month plan. You get 300 searches and after that $0.015 per search, I think that's not really that expensive. And from my experience with the trial version, it's a damn good search engine, and it's great at non-English searches too. Kagi is what Neeva wished to be but never was (btw RIP Neeva).

It's good, minimalist, has no extensions (I'm fine with that), but unfortunately it's proprietary (except for WebKit which is open source). Add some more options in the settings, and port pinned tabs to Windows, and it'll be perfect. Better choice than Chrome or Edge for sure.

Yep! It feels like I'm in a place I shouldn't be in and that I'm betraying the community simply by being there

Lemmy will be like what LibreOffice was to OpenOffice. I can feel it.

Exactly. Been using this website for now as a replacement for Reddit, and not really using Mastodon much. On Mastodon you have to refollow a bunch of people, Twitter still works for me as a microblogging platform, despite being owned by someone I do not respect in any way.

Searching for new communities all the time. Every day, I find new communities to join. The Threadiverse (and Fediverse in general) is growing very quickly.
