Well then I’ll make my own browser! With blackjack! And hookers!
Oh. Wait…that’s just tor-browser.
Hey! Why not add an AI assistant that summarizes each page I visit! It would be awesome 😎. But only if the computation is done off-site. I don’t want to bother my computer cpu too much…this page depicts 7 consenting adults engaging in what would otherwise be described as an Australian cum slut gangbang clusterfuck with a 3 finger twist and large bottle of rum up the asshole…
Joe! Joe! Come here quick! Remember the dude from yesterday? Yeah, cum slut cluster fuck? Exactly! Look he’s asking for it again! I think he likes it. Why don’t we send his information to the appropriate authorities?
…ring ring! Yes? Is this the guy who really likes Australia cluster fuck videos? Ehhh, why would you ask such a thing?..well I am the authority on this topic! I wrote the book, see?..and another page …and another page… Yeah, it’s mostly photos of me and my 6 male friends. Oh! Ah!.. Can I help you? Well I didn’t bring my 6 friends with me but do you have sex guy friends? Oh I said sex, didn’t I. Yeah I do have sex friends! Wait a minute, did Mozilla Firefox sent you after they shared my most intimate searches thru the NSA AI servers? Gosh darn it! Well it doesn’t matter, what’s done is done. I guess I’ll just take my pants off, go ahead and get more comfortable too. You want anything to eat while we wait here for my six friends? One of them is really fat, is that okay? I mean he’s really, like you know, morbidly obese sort of fat. I hope you are okay with his girth.
And Soo the user had a great time thanks to Mozilla Firefox. The end! She was never found until the x-ray, when her body was found biologically fused and bonded to the user’s friend’s body along with two other doctors from previous visits. It was pretty bad. It was big news in Australia 🦘.
I gotta go sleep 💤😴💤💤.
Google chrome, unfortunately is still very alive and well.
You can still block ads system-wide with adguard for desktop…Not sure if it works on linux. But there’s also nextDNS, very easy to set up when you use yogaDNS. Or nextDNS’s own app to do it.
You need to pay for those things, but paying for adblockers is better than paying each individual website you go to to not have ads
Noooooo.
I like my Extensions.
The internet isn’t worth having without Ublock, Ghostery, Scriptmonkey, etc.
ADGUARD FOR DESKTOP! NEXT DNS! USERSCRIPTS CAN BE LOADED INTO ADGUARD!
Sorry…I have Tourette’s
You don’t have a problem. You have a passion.
i like the cut of this jib. But Firefox has for years been literally behind Microsoft on sidebar vertical tab browsing. Wasn’t it Firefox to make browser tabs mainstream?
Check out Sidebery, it’s a vertical tab extension.
i’ve been using tree style tab for many years now. works great. I’m just confused why it isn’t native to firefox. kind of like why hasn’t VLC incorporated a dark mode with the classic interface? AH! I love open source software, not kidding.
they’re still working on it though, right ?
Look at these numbers and tell me with a straight face that chrome is dead.
Read the meme better
thanks, the however-many comments before you that said the same thing didn’t get through to me, but yours totally did!
It’s not dead. It’s just the default option for boomers.
It’s like Internet Explorer or Netscape. It exists so you csn download something better.
I don’t think you fully understand just how much the ‘default’ is. Between edge and chrome it’s the default for everything.
Introducing children to the Internet? Chrome. Old folks? Chrome. businesses? Chrome (sometimes edge). Personal use for 90% of people? chrome.
(also edge is used to install something better which again, for 90% of people, is chrome.)
why did you think anyone would say would chrome is dead… oh youre a troll
no, I’m an idiot with bad eyesight and enough experience to expect that most people are even dumber than I am.
bad eyesight? LOL
Have you re-read your earlier message yet? People in glass houses…
Don’t think it’s talking about “death” just enshitification
Side note: gotdamn firefox is less than 3.0% According to the same website, Linux is at 4.5% marketshare. It’s rarer to use firefox than linux (I’m on iceweasel btw)
Meme says it’s shitty, not dead
that actually makes more sense, my bad
can’t wait for lady bird browser
can’t wait for the servo browser engine
you can already build it, fairly featured
There will be no improvement with browsers until the introduction of one with a strong copyleft license.
I’m curious, how would copyleft license improve the quality of browser development? That is really about funding and management.
Don’t Firefox and Chromium already have that?
Chromium is fully entrenched. “strong copyleft”? Even Microsoft bent to the will of Chromium. And Firefox is just a silly thing where people like me hang on
If I remember correctly it’s under a copy left license which makes sense given it’s ultimately a derivative of KHTML.
KHTML is a discontinued browser engine that was developed by the KDE project. It originated as the engine of the Konqueror browser in the late 1990s, but active development ceased in 2016. It was officially discontinued in 2023. Built on the KParts framework and written in C++, KHTML had relatively good support for Web standards during its prime. Engines forked from KHTML are used by most of the browsers that are widely used today, including WebKit and Blink
zen browser (hardened) or forked librewolf that is designed to be fast is nice (my distro has this browser called cachy browser its based on librewolf with some compiler optimizations and its nice)
Yeah so I also use CachyOS on a couple things and one of them also uses Cachy Browser.
Ok I’m probably just a simpleton who doesn’t get it…but is this comic really suggesting that HTML5 I’d a negative thing, and worse, is the drumbeat of a tyrannical web?
I mean really…HTML5 is one of the best things to happen to the Web and the W3C is imo the essential glue holding things together.
Browser inconsistencies are so few and far between now it makes building an inclusive Web much easier, you can almost do it by accident.
Ben Garrison is a right-wing idiot. He doesn’t know jack about much of anything.
Ben garrison comic without any reference to cum?
You just made the reference meta.
Think this is from bribes paid by Google?
You mean 500 million a year ?
what about ark browser… are they ok ?
Art isn’t open source, right?
and also based on chromium
I’m using opera (though it’s GX to be fair) and it’s still great to me. What did they do?
Others said it’s spyware, but they are also loan scammers.
I honestly don’t know what data this browser exfiltrates, or what else malicious it might do, but I don’t trust anyone this shady to run proprietary code on my devices. Scammers rarely respect any kind of boundaries.
Wow I didn’t know about this, very blatant.
Opera died a long time ago, they no longer use their own browser engine. Nowadays they are just a Chromium skin with Chinese spyware
Since you asked
It’s a proprietary closed source flavor of chrome which supports google’s monopoly and does not respect your privacy or freedom.
Here is some quick info if you’re interested: https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/opera

If you don’t like that I’d suggest looking at librewolf (firefox/gecko based) or ungoogled chromium (chromium based)
In my opinion, I see it as they making misleading advertising, collexting data and supposedly sending it to the CCP, and having a generaly bloated browser.
It’s been going for years now. We just don’t want to move away because, frankly, there’s little viable alternatives.
Some people are working on ladybird atleast. And gnome web preforms decent
Some people are working on ladybird atleast.
Another permissively licensed toy.
Video Streaming on Gnome Web is a mess. Especially on YouTube. And It’s still lacking addons.
safari? but it only comes on mac and apple devices
I’m really holding out for Ladybird.
I like how whoever made this didn’t bother to put IE on the first door.
This is a 100% handmade meme by me lol
I actually did consider putting IE, but then I realized IE never went through enshittification it was just always shit lmao so it didn’t fit
IE was had a near monopoly on browsing for a long time after Netscape Navigator enshittified (the true first door).
IE used to be great. But that was when the animals still spoke.
