The China-centric video sharing platform is expanding with a new international app and an English version of its website -- with no identity verification (for now at least)

lots of people don't like the direction the company is heading

[–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 8 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Fair point but are you seriously saying you prefer the direction Google is heading?

[–] bugbear@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

whataboutism? two competing companies can be bad

[–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah but if you need to use a browser are you seriously going to support Google over Mozilla?

[–] bugbear@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

no, but we weren't talking about that. the topic was "why more people don’t use Firefox" I'm replying to you in Librewolf. I still don't have to like Firefox, nor recommend it to people at this point.

[–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Forks are also fine. But the phrasing often can come across in a way that supports chrome

[–] bugbear@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

I don't really care. :)

Edit: There are other options than just Chrome and Firefox even without the forks. Most people just don't wanna use them.

[–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Sure and some of those are coo. But if you can't even get people moving to firefox, good luck with the more obscure ones.

Not trying to make anyone change their web browser, so we all good.

[–] CAVOK@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

What direction is that? I haven't been keeping up, I just use the browser.

pro-AI for starters, lots of people aren't happy with that. (this is related to the AI, but started long before then: ) their insistence on focusing on anything else but the actual browser, Firefox also occasionally changes (privacy related) settings after upgrade (Edit: as reported by users online) or when they installed extensions remotely to people's browsers as part of some kind of promo (I believe it was Mr. Robot?).

There might be more, but this is what I can think of from the top of my head.

Edit: typos
