The misuse of this meme is one of my biggest meme pet peeves. Have people forgotten that in that scene, his vision is clear when he’s not wearing glasses? So the meme should be the other way around.
Like many memes, this one exists outside of the original oeuvre (movie, painting, etc). For instance, I have not see the movie it comes from, it wouldn’t makes sense to me if it was the other way around.
Kids these days, amirite…
meme should be the other way around.
The
imgflipreference at the bottom left is there to remind us that the image should be flipped.Yeah, they should have used Rowdy Roddy Piper and his sunglasses from They Live.
iOS be like: they’re all safari
Chromium, privacy chromium, corporate chromium, spyware chromium, there’s so much diversity! /s
Which spyware chromium do you mean? Chrome or Edge?

And come 2024, you won’t be able to reliably block ads in any of them.
Firefox is our last refuge.
Real men telnet to the web server and manually type GET commands and read the raw HTML.
Pft you still have to read the HTML? I just stick a fiberoptic in my ass and download it rectally.
Guess you have enough fiber in your diet.
Honestly, my biggest fear if Apple ever allows other browser engines on iOS is that developers will stop testing on anything other than Chrome. And they will tell iPhone users to “just download Chrome.”
I’ve already heard so many places tell people not to use Firefox or Safari to access their website. It’s IE 6 all over again. I hate Chrome and refuse to use it.

this is why I still have to have Chrome installed

I hate how everybody seems to be OK with this because Chromium is nominally open-source, when that ended up being the whole reason we are in this mess.
Being “open source” seems to be lead people to think it is altruistic or good for the community as a whole.
Being open source is really just a categorization. A fully for profit organization can make something valuable open source and then leverage that for commercial reasons (like building highly monetized additional code on top).
It is in Google’s best interests for Chromium to dominate the web even if it is open source due to Chrome’s broad reach and Google’s heavy leverage of the web for revenue, like its ad services.
It is shortsighted to see what is happening and then go “well I don’t see a problem”.
Yes, it’s a sad state of affairs that Apple’s restrictions on iOS and iPadOS browsers are the only thing stopping an effective Google monopoly over web browsers. Ideally Firefox would still keep things in balance, but Mozilla doesn’t seem to know what it’s doing these days in terms of building market share - and I say that as a long time Firefox user.
I still remember the IE 6 era, and I hope we never see a single browser dominate the web again. To those wishing Apple would be forced to open up, be careful what you wish for.
First time someone defends Apple, and for a good reason too.
I hate chromium.
It acts like chrome because IT IS CHROME!!! Minus the obvious branding and proprietary “Google-y bits” Unfortunately it’s the same codebase.
At least Firefox at it’s core truly differs.
The only reason Chromium exists is because Google is bound by the original license when they bought it, which is copyleft. So they have to release an open source version, which is Chromium. Google Chrome is their flagship product and is proprietary and hence is the one that bears the Google branding and colours.
Lol.

or, as i call it: Spyware Safari
Hey. That’s not fair. Safari deserves quite a bit of credit for being spyware
Ah… the first repost I’ve seen on the threadiverse thus far. I hope this doesn’t become a trend.
Perhaps a repost, but it was new to me so I can’t complain…
Recently switched over to mull browser. Fork of the Firefox browser, works great so far. Also if you are unsure of the security of your browser, could use the website, browseraudit.com, that rates your current browsers. Runs 100+ against several tests and reports back.
Nothing is worse than seeing chromium-based browser users fight other chromium-based browser users. You are all using the same fucking thing!
“It’s funny to see people who use cars with V-8’s argue about other models and makes of cars with V-8’s, you’re all using the same fucking thing!”
See how absolutely stupid as fuck that sounds? Cause all cars are different even though they use virtual identical model of engines? That’s what you sound like.
Bring back Netscape! Actually I would take the old Opera. That was my browser of choice prior to the chrome integration.
Netscape IS Firefox.
I feel like we’ve seen this before…
Least we’re got support for more fancy CSS properties nowdays, that’s something I guess
And Chromium renders transparent PNGs properly. That’s also something, I guess.
The biggest difference is that Chromium is an open source project.
Sure, it’s open-source, but Google essentially controls it. That is literally why they forked WebKit. And websites are starting to rely on Chromium’s quirks. Firefox and Safari will have to choose between following standards or Google’s quirks. Not ideal at all.
