    I’ve been on Firefox for years. Was never much of a problem, but lately there’s more and more sites that require a Chromium-based browser. Some of them quite crucial. A list from experience:

    1. My bank’s mortgage page
    2. Microsoft Teams - only supports Chrome, safari and edge on MacOs.
    3. Microsoft Office - has weird quirks on MacOs
    4. The new Adobe Express, requires Chrome or Edge
    5. Google Meet - after years google still only supports Chromium-based browsers if you wish to use video effects
    6. Microsoft’s new video editing thing

        See this kind of shit is why I pirate, not because I can’t afford to pay $10 a month. When the $10 for a lot of content becomes $10 per month per piece of media you like, and you can’t watch it on your platform of choice, and you can’t watch it on a flight without paying more or not at all, this makes the $5 per month I pay for a VPN sound like a far better service.

      Ok, I got it wrong guys

      Chrome has won

      Let’s all go home, install a Chromium-based spyware-laced browser and bow down to our Google overlords.
