Comment on How is Lemmy better than Reddit?
OpenStars@discuss.online 5 weeks agoIt does things very differently, and many webpage designers hate it with a passion - I don’t know of the details why - despite how it is a successor to Netscape Navigator, open source, and a competitor to the monopolistic Google’s Chrome. Maybe there are reasons for why it does what it does even, but it alienates people who enjoy the simplicity of just making pages work on Chrome, and then anyone else be damned.

Lol I wouldn’t be surprised if I did, posting anywhere with politics involved doesn’t usually end well :P
IE was hot garbage, I was quickly a Firefox fan (I remember version 3 being a huge release haha) but yeah tons of sites were broken on FF at the time.
Chrome was generally faster and more reliably loaded, plus the IE view extension I THINK didn’t require admin rights like firefoxes did :P so I drifted to Chrome for a long while.
Back on Firefox tho, really glad they’re still around haha.

Similar, though halfway made the switch to Firefox sooner, at least on a mobile, and still nowadays have to use Chrome more on a desktop. For one thing, it supports multiple profiles better, which is mandatory for managing two work emails that both use Microdick’s Outlook.
It is really annoying though, like how it always checks in with home base despite opting out, and how I have to force close it every time I’m done with it or else my phone gives me warning messages about it using up too much battery, even if I haven’t used it at all that day (hence why I’ve taken to force closing it).
But… no ads, and that wins:-). Also open source, so it’s got a strong base, just I wish it was implemented more than a little better, which is probably a harder ask than I give it credit for, so I am glad that it works as well as it does, with everything wanting to kill it off.
