- 28304283409234 3mo agoLet's not exchange crap behaviour. I think google would win hands down. Firefox at least has adblocking.
- Freak_NL 3mo agoThe classic 'those guys did something bad, so I am going to go with the guys who are absolute assholes doing several orders of magnitude more bad things now instead' response. That usually means that whoever utters it was just looking for a sycophantic excuse to go with the bigger threat because it is more convenient to them (for now).
- pjc50 3mo agoIt's remarkable how often this happens, isn't it? One incident of someone not living up to standards is suddenly an opportunity to abandon standards and go with known bad actors. It's like people giving up on the MSM and immediately latching onto propaganda Youtubers instead.
- dualvariable 3mo agoPeople latch onto consistency and hypocrisy as their filters. The problem is that anyone trying to actually be better is usually inconsistent and hypocritical at some level as in that "you criticize society, yet you participate in it" comic. If you attempt to filter out all traces of hypocrisy from your trusted sources, you wind up listening to the absolute worst people. The people trying to do better are usually the ones struggling with conflicts and inconsistencies.

- throwaway81523 3mo agoMaybe "wicked problem" is the new tech buzzword, but browsers certainly are one, and Mozilla messed it up. I blame Mitchell Baker for a big chunk. We don't need a new browser though. We need a new web. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wicked_problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wicked_problem
- inigyou 3mo agoOther way around isn't it? Google are the worst assholes for the time being so many as well go with the less bad assholes?
- charcircuit 3mo agoNo it doesn't. Unlike Brave, Firefox needs an extension to block ads just like Chrome.
- emaro 3mo agoYes, though it has the most powerful and customizable adblocker available.
