      Just like how Micro$oft Windows is advertsiting Linux, Google Chrome advertsites Firefox!

      Microsoft Edge: “Thank you, Chrome, for sharing the load.”

      Sad saga, but here we are. I remember when Chrome was new and brought much needed speed and low resource usage to the browsing experience of the day. I even got email from a Chrome engineer once about a bug I mentioned in a forum, asking me for more information.

      Google was already an ad company by then so anyone could have looked forward to this inevitability. Some did. Most of us did not.

      Chrome has just always been there for some younger people but it will now live in my memory as a fully encapsulated end-to-end enshittification experience that I really should have always expected.

      And just like it used to be with Internet Explorer, I am forced to use Chrome at work all day because thats the IT & security approved / enterprise-managed browser.

        I, too, switched to Chrome around when they launched due to drastically better performance. But shortly after (a couple years?), I found out Opera had similar performance and had cool other features, so I switched to that. Opera then converted to a Chrome-clone, so I switched to Firefox, which had largely caught up w/ performance by that time.

        If you have the option, request that Firefox be added to the supported app list or whatever by your IT team. Tell them you need some Firefox-specific extensions or something for your job.

          I don’t really care what’s installed on my work computer, which I use solely for work purposes. Should I?

        Made me feel better when I said I wish I knew what would come, back in the day when I was installing Chrome for people - and someone here replied “hey we all wish we knew when we did that” 🫂

      Imagine having an OS that doesn’t come with a proper package manager (and Firefox installed by default, for that matter).
