I love ff but competition is always good

Can't tell if you're joking but the problem is serious lack of competition for Chromium browsers. Every Chromium browser brings nothing meaningfully new but just strengthens Google's monopoly.

I meant in the way that chrome is good competition for ff. Not necessarily that we Need even more chromium browsers

[–] anothermember@feddit.uk 4 points 3 weeks ago

Oh yes, it would be even worse if we only had one browser engine. We need more browser engines is the point, not more tweaked Chromium browsers.

You've got that backwards bub. Firefox is the competition. Chrome has like 65% of the market share. Chrome is the browser to compete against, not Firefox.

Even if Chrome is the dominant Browser it is still competition, no?

yeah, "competition", firefox sends data to google and google pays firefox for google search to be main search in the browser out of the box

I'll take Missing the Point for 100, Alex.
