The misuse of this meme is one of my biggest meme pet peeves. Have people forgotten that in that scene, his vision is clear when he's not wearing glasses? So the meme should be the other way around.

[–] thegiddystitcher@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Kids these days, amirite...

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Wouldn't this technically work either way? Like "they all are basically the same if you blur your vision a little bit"

[–] radiojosh 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, they should have used Rowdy Roddy Piper and his sunglasses from They Live.

[–] aMalayali 2 points 2 years ago

meme should be the other way around.

The imgflipreference at the bottom left is there to remind us that the image should be flipped.

[–] root_beer@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

A more appropriate template would have been They Live, right?

[–] klangcola@reddthat.com 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I feel like we've seen this before..

[–] AnonymousLlama@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Least we're got support for more fancy CSS properties nowdays, that's something I guess

[–] photodiode@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And Chromium renders transparent PNGs properly. That's also something, I guess.

Chromium, privacy chromium, corporate chromium, spyware chromium, there’s so much diversity! /s

And come 2024, you won't be able to reliably block ads in any of them.

Firefox is our last refuge.

[–] ZILtoid1991@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Which spyware chromium do you mean? Chrome or Edge?

Ah... the first repost I've seen on the threadiverse thus far. I hope this doesn't become a trend.

[–] argv_minus_one 5 points 2 years ago

My colleague in Kronika, reposting on Internet forums is a tradition.

There really needs to be a "Linux" of browser engines.

[–] Daeraxa@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago
[–] Liontigerwings@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is that not what Chromium is? An open source browser that anyone can adapt to suit their needs.

[–] Hypx@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

People are worried that Google controls the project. Anyone using Chromium is basically making their own version of Chrome but with extra features.

I hate chromium.

It acts like chrome because IT IS CHROME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Minus the obvious branding and proprietary "Google-y bits" Unfortunately it's the same codebase.

At least Firefox at it's core truly differs.

Firefox is the best. There is only Firefox.

[–] codenul@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Recently switched over to mull browser. Fork of the Firefox browser, works great so far. Also if you are unsure of the security of your browser, could use the website, browseraudit.com, that rates your current browsers. Runs 100+ against several tests and reports back.

[–] Ronno@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Meanwhile, our IT department is blocking every browser except for Chrome and Edge. It is infuriating, because out of the list, these two are my least favorite to use (putting it mildly).

[–] Contend6248@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

Well, you have to support something, managing two browsers in an enterprise environment and supporting all users is enough for most companies, the advantage is not worth it.

Also, it's company data, i don't give too many fucks about that, doing something which you want to keep private is a very bad idea on company owned devices anyway. At home or on my phone i know how i can keep my privacy.

[–] JSens1998@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

Yeah, ain't this the truth. Firefox and safari are the only browsers that arent chromium based. We must protect Firefox at all coats! Without it, Google would have a monopoly on the browser space... a world I would not like to live in.

[–] pingveno@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And even Safari is a Chrome predecessor (roughly KHTML -> WebKit -> Blink).

I'm doing my part, but damn has it gotten janky since the rewrite.

[–] JSens1998@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I feel you on that.

Bring back Netscape! Actually I would take the old Opera. That was my browser of choice prior to the chrome integration.

[–] Melody@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

Netscape IS Firefox.

[–] BrooklynMan@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

or, as i call it: Spyware Safari

[–] LordChaos82@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

Ok, so this is my setup.

Work laptop: Forced to use chrome so switched to degoogled chromium. Personal PC: Windows and Linux: Use librewolf on my personal machines. iPhone: Use Firefox on my iPhone Android: I use Bromite (Chromium based) on my Android phone.

So, it's basically using the best I could find for each job. I cannot defend either of those as the only reason I continue to use them is because I am used to the interface.

[–] Yewb@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Where is Netscape!

[–] GeekFTW 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So can someone confirm if 'they' ever got Chromecast access functional in Firefox yet? Last time I looked into it and tested it out the plugin or fx_bridge or whatever it was called was years ago and it never managed to work, which is the sole reason why I haven't switched to Firefox.

[–] CalcProgrammer1@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I mean, proprietary Google platform gonna proprietary Google platform.

[–] zekiz@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Chromium has that feature. Not only Chrome. So it can't be closed source.

[–] Schwarz@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

As someone who is a frontend engineer, Safari is the new IE11

[–] Aetherion@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago
[–] Zintag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh cool. It's the same 5 memes reposted ad nauseam here too. Redditors gonna feel right at home.

[–] nik282000@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Should be They Live glasses not Peter Parker anyway.

[–] Bipta@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

My thought exactly.

[–] hexachrome@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

we have you surrounded!! come out with your browser running chrome

[–] sewashi@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Firefox gets north of $300-$500 million from Google.

[–] lewis@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Diversity in rendering engine is so important to the health of the web
