In this thread lots of uninformed people rationalizing why it's actually okay to use chromium.

And thus the brave lammings set out to inform other lemmings, who are as tech savvy and know this is happening, that this is happening by posting memes. Hopefully the people, who would already be using firefox if they cared, switch to firefox so we can breach the 3% market share and that'll show Google, maker of Chrome and Firefox' main sponsor, people care enough to stop this madness! - I'm not against activism, but activism in an echochamber can turn into a circlejerk. Everyone stop stroking please... I'm here for the memes.

I'm not against activism

You just spent like 5 minutes reducing activism to "cIrClEjErK". Can we leave that stupid ass phrase on reddit for Christ's sake?

everywhere is a circle jerk or an echo chamber except the places that I post

Firefox mobile app sucks on my phone. Not sure about the rest of you. Doesn't seem like there is a great alternative though.

[–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 33 points 2 years ago

Works just fine for me. Though it's been a while since I used anything else, I don't really have a frame of reference. That being said, I can install ublock origin and dark reader in firefox so I won't ever use anything else on my phone.

Did you mean annoying crypto browser?

[–] jerrimu@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Firefox what you should use, or edge I guess? But really Firefox.

[–] sylveon@lemmy.blahaj.zone 40 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Edge also uses Chromium. If you want to avoid that then Firefox (including derivatives like LibreWolf, Waterfox or SeaMonkey) and Safari are pretty much your only options.

The past week every post has just been browser icons.

FFS, go browse the bottom of the Potomac.
