minus-squarekava@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·4 months agoI remember back in the day everyone used Firefox. Then Chrome came out and there was a nice ad campaign and it was actually way faster. Then slowly everyone switched to Chrome. At some point in the last 15 years, it switched to Firefox being superior. I switched back to Firefox maybe like 7~ years ago? But I did it for open source reasons.
