@sdarlington@mas.to @nicklockwood@mastodon.social I don't like Chrome being dominant either, the difference is that I blame Mozilla. They were around 40% market share before they decided to stop listening to users and started getting rid of everything that made Firefox better than Chrome. For me, I actually liked the ideas behind Chrome from a technical point of view when it first came out, tried to switch multiple times, but had to return to Firefox because Chrome lacked a lot of features I used all the time. In Firefox 1-3 those things were built in. Between Firefox 4-56, they became extensions - or as Mozilla renamed them, "legacy extensions". Chrome still doesn't do what I need, but neither does Firefox anymore. Chrome didn't win, they were just all that were left when Mozilla started scoring own-goals and Microsoft capitulated. My entire family used to run Firefox. Now only my father uses Firefox, and we all agree that we need to move him to a better browser, we just don't agree on which one.
