chrome is the new IE except no one gives a damn about monopolies anymore

firefox has its big flaws both as a product and as an organization (mozilla) but just by the virtue of not running chromium, it is the obvious choice. yeah yeah safari exists, but i dont own apple products so thats not a factor

I offered translations to Spanish through EMail.

I think that could be translated in several hours.

However, the comic seems to miss the point of surveillance capitalism and Free Software replacements at all.

It's cute as a comic, I'll share it with my friends for sure

Very good comic, but what are we gonna do?

Using (FOSS) alternatives* for OS, services or browsers on personal basis only seem to work for a small group of tech enthusiast/nerds while Big Tech keeps increasing its market share.

* assuming the alternatives are actually better in a privacy sense, which isn't always the case.
