A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The reason they can get away with it is because too many people use Chrome / Edge / Brave (Chromium based browsers). The free web will survive if companies lose half their customers by not supporting it. It won't survive if they would only lose 0.1% of their customers.
So the key will be to push non-Chromium browsers - get that installed base up. Encourage everyone you know to use a non-Chromium browser. Install a decent browser for your elderly relatives, and spread the word.
