It's funny because the browser monoculture problem is like one of the few points in life where you can just change a personal preference and make an actual change in the world. It's like if voting with your dollar actually worked, or if switching to plastic straws actually stopped climate change. In the end though we're all gonna die because even something as simple and easy as this is just a bridge too far for people.

the way things are going now the problem is just going to get worse and then cloudflare will decide to cut out the middle man and introduce their special cloudflare web browser and then all of the chrome and chrome-fork die-hards will switch to that because finally we'll have a real contender to destroying the open web and privacy as we know it

@aeva idk how much i agree with this, considering node and electron which have kinda taken over the world run on chrome's browser stack also i feel like mozilla has been driving themselves into the ground for almost a decade now, they've been laying off countless teams that were behind the only mozilla products really taking off (Rust, MDN web docs, firefox devtools) not to be a downer and say to give up on mozilla, and give up on firefox. by all means, switch to firefox, and if you're a web developer, ensure your web apps and websites support firefox 100%!!
