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 1 year ago

Kids these days, amirite...

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 1 year ago

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

[–] aMalayali 2 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

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

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

I feel like we've seen this before..

[–] AnonymousLlama@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

[–] photodiode@kbin.social 7 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago
[–] Liontigerwings@kbin.social 1 points 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

Netscape IS Firefox.

[–] BrooklynMan@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

or, as i call it: Spyware Safari

[–] LordChaos82@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year 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 1 year ago

Where is Netscape!

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

I mean, proprietary Google platform gonna proprietary Google platform.

[–] zekiz@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

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

Should be They Live glasses not Peter Parker anyway.

[–] Bipta@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

My thought exactly.

[–] hexachrome@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] sewashi@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] lewis@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

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