It would be nice to spend one day on Lemmy without seeing a half dozen posts telling me to switch to Firefox nor 100 comments on every post that's even vaguely browser-adjacent about how ever since they switched to Firefox their life has been nothing but joy and rainbows

May I interest about about switching to Arch Linux instead?

[–] madscience@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago

I'm using arch and Firefox. But I keep chrome as a backup because I also have a ton of nest devices... Is your mind blown?

People who are on an open source reddit alternative like open source software and an open internet, holy shit!

If it makes you feel any better (it probably doesn’t), the same article was on reddit too. And hackernews also had it hit the frontpage.

I'm using Firefox basically since it came into existence and my life is depressing and sucks. But at least I can browse the web without being tracked so hard by Google and others while trusting on a open source project whose first priorities are its users and not profit.

Start hanging out in different communities.

Make those other posts.

[–] applejacks@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

agree, no matter what communities you browse, you just get repeatedly hit over the head with the same 5 topics.

[–] Bulletdust@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I didn't switch to anything, I simply never stopped using Firefox as there was no pressing need to do so.

[–] Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

Switch to Firefox now OR ELSE (you'll miss out on the joy and rainbows)

[–] xradeon@lemmy.one -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Holy crap yes, honestly I get so tired of these firefox posts. I only get a Lemmy once a week or so now just cause every post is literally just how bad Chrome is and why you should switch to Firefox. XD
