Leopards ate my face moment. Stop using that trash.
Leopards are those entities that openly boast about eating your face. It's not the case with Google. Your average non-IT-savy person knows almost nothing about their shenanigans
It's been very open among us Lemmers for years now. Posting here it could be all but assumed they knew about this bad behavior for a long time.
This is not a "leopards ate my face" situation.
"I never thought AI would eat my face"
-Person who installed the browser from the AI Face Eater company
It is, on my opinion. Lemmers should know Google is not a good faith actor.
For some people, sure - actively choosing chrome despite knowing the kind of company Google has become is silly
But then I think about the people who have chrome pre-installed on their phones, with no ability to remove it. Despite using a different browser, they still got burned by this.
I do believe lemmings have a higher tech literacy than the average internet user, but I also believe tech literacy shouldn't be a requirement to hide from ai.
The people who boast about using chrome and insist other browsers are trash absolutely had their faces eaten... But the people who did their best to avoid chrome did not
Those were the people I was referring to. I was referring to the people who do know better.
But it's true what you're saying as well, about devices where you have no choice. Not very easy to do anything about that.
Seriously. Chrome is the single worst mainstream browser on the market today, bar none.
Absolutely any choice would be better than Google Chrome.
Edge... Opera... Internet explorer...
Its all chromium anyway.
I'm gonna go on a limb here and say that Internet Explorer isn't chromium based.
Yeah true; but Internet explorer isn't supported ever since Edge (back when it was an actual browser and not just a skin of chromium) came out
I actually thought Edge was kinda cool when it first came out with its own engine. Another player in the game, I thought.
Now? How dull.
EdgeHTML was a genuine improvement over the old IE engine, but even MS couldn't compete against Google in the end.
So it went, indeed. And it was a cascade of near-monopolization after that. Firefox/Gecko still staying strong in the engine game.
Internet Explorer is still used by the Windows OS quite frequently. So depending on your definition of "supported" it still kind of is. Plus the internet hasn't changed all that much, so most websites will work with any web browser regardless of age.
Fun fact, if you're a .NET developer, you can actually still use IE. The browser control on winforms is just IE. Those old .NET framework versions will never die so neither will IE.
Internet explorer isn't, but Edge is chromium based.
