The biggest douchbags in the world, besides billionaires, are the people who still use Google—including Gmail and chromium based browsers.
Are you a douchebag? Let me hear your crybaby bullshit.
(Not you OP)
Personally, I think the real douchebags are web devs who only build and test for chromium based browsers, making some critical tools completely unusable on Firefox/Linux systems. Looking at you, Chase.com.
Really, anyone who develops third-party software that entrenches monopolies.
idk about you but never had an issue with chase's website on Firefox that prevented me from using it.
Yeah, I use Chase on Firefox every month with no issues.
You’re probably just out of date. I had some issues recently on Waterfox, realized I was running a not-super-new version, and things worked great after I updated the flatpak.
It's almost like true douchebags are the ones who are completely unaware of how the real world works and think everyone in the world should warp their worldview around what they think is personally most important.
The real world of supporting privacy invasion?
It' s easy to dismiss everyone as "douchebag" if they don't align with your world views.
The world view that privacy invasion is a bad thing.
There are more pressing things in the world. Doesn't make someone a douchebag for having more appropriate priorities.
Enjoy having all your conversations recorded. Be sure to tell your friends they’re being recorded when they are around you.
I use chromium for a few sites and I use gmail and youtube,
Guess what that makes you ;)
A douchebag? Sounds like an upgrade from a total loser. :)
Were you a total loser before?
yes
