They’ve undoubtedly been preparing for this day in some capacity. If they didn’t and collapse then yes they chose a stupid business model. But until that happens I think this is a premature statement.
It is shocking to me how many people on Lemmy hate Firefox, which is basically the only real non-chromium alternative that most people can use with minimal compromises. So many people hate Google here yet y’all seem to hate the only viable competitor even more. It’s bizarre to me.
this does mystify me. only time I nearly dropped firefox was when they did the big change that broke add ons but firefox with the addons I like is the best browser for me. nothing they have done has been consequentially bad. philosophically maybe but the actual effect is not bad compared to any other options.
I think people make a way too big of a deal out of the “Google is the default search engine” thing. If you are worried about that, you can turn it off with like two clicks. For the money they are (were I guess) handed to set that it’s clearly worth it and I would’ve done the same exact thing.
Besides that I just don’t think there is enough reason to be so anti-Firefox. Especially given our current internet climate. And for those who really are that adamant, there are plenty of forks.
oh yeah. duck duck go is for my firefox. duck duck go is another one with a lot of drama that amounts to nothing. have tried a few alts but went back.
Same. DDG is fine/flawed, google is terrible (morally and otherwise) and the results are actively getting worse.
