I'm not shitting, just explaining reason I don't like it.

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 12 points 11 hours ago

Seems more like you're explaining why you think others shouldn't like it.

Try not to read into it too much.

You typed it out to be read. Now you don't want people to read to much in to it after I guess not liking the reception.

I typed out why I don't like it. I know exactly how people here feel about Firefox. It's very predictable. Its the one AI software they will defend tirelessly.

What browser do you use? If you hate Chrome and Firefox, that's really going to limit your choices. Derivatives of both of those must be forbidden too because all of those would cease to exist if the base browsers vanished.

Something WebKit based? Or are you using something based on the Goanna fork of Gecko?

Who's hating, I thi k maybe you responded to the wrong comment?

Was this you?:

Seems much of Lemmy is still married to Firefox despite all their slop and Alphabet funding

Your wording appeared to imply a solid dislike for Alphabet which I then took to be transferred onto their own browser - Chrome - and the browser who takes Alphabet's dime - Firefox.

I can see that there might be other ways to interpret that sentence and get the true shade of meaning you intended, but I'm not sure which one it is if it isn't the one I thought it was.

Demonstrating that you're not on the same team!

Definitely a free thinker! Not big on teams.
