    tbh i think it would be better if there was a single collaborative engine instead, owned by a non-profit company like The Linux Foundation

    maybe the W3C could establish their own but idk if they even do anything these days

        Not going to lie, I really hate when the internet gets a new favorite phrase. Destroys discussion on the subjects and feels like it’s a race for commenters to say the hit phrase.

          Lemmy is chock full of stupid people on the right team for the wrong reasons. They treat switching to Linux and FF the same way someone would declare they gave their life to Jesus Christ.

          Most of them can’t even explain why something is good or bad without resorting to the catch phrase of the day. “Enshittification”, “EEE”, “Chrome bad cuz capitalism or something, gib updoots.”

          If what you were gonna say is quashed by people knowing the big corpo tricks and treachery, then chances are what you had to say served no interests but corpo interest to begin with.

            Maybe we’re just tired of sheep. Even sheep that happened to end up on the right side.

        It’s not. In the late 90s it was pretty much just IE after Netscape died. Mozilla came from the ashes.

          Literally. It was originally built on the Netscape engine before making Gecko and transitioning to that.
