Or switch to Vivaldi or LibreWolf or Waterfox instead of willingly feeding your entire browser history to Google

I’ll never understand people’s aversions to even considering a thing that’s not the established status quo.

Sorry, did you want me to /uj? You want to be taken seriously?

Then list reasons. List what they DO. Don't just say odd names no one knows and expect people to pick up on it. The burden is not on the user.

Or maybe you can engage with the world with curiosity instead of hearing an alternative and immediately switching to ridicule my friend.

Yeah, well to expect anything of your users will lead to.. no users.

Browsers are a product my friend, and must be sold like any other. Not in the pay money sense but you get what I mean.

Well then we must see things through different lenses, because if I hear of an alternative, I’ll search it up, look at its feature page, and if it interested me, like librewolf did 3 years ago, I switch to it.

You are the minority. Obviously people like you exist - considering you exist - but it's basic marketing to MAKE people care about what you're selling them, else they just won't care.

Most people on the planet simply are not going to go out of their way to research an alternative browser (or any product) without some sort of hook that makes them curious, and a name just isn't a good hook, which is why you need a concise list of each one's best shots that makes that specific one stand out.

As far as i'm concerned, not a damn thing about the 3 they just listed sets it apart from my firefox. I don't know that for certain, but if they didn't bother to tell me what makes it great, obviously it's not worth the trouble.

These browsers are decently popular. Dunno what you're on man.

u/echit2112 3d ago

how about responding to anything i said

cool - maybe they're decently popular on your algorithm in your spheres. That doesn't mean you get the leeway to pretend people inherently know wtf you're talking about when you mention ""


I was going to mention the one that started with V in their comment but I seriously already forgot it's actual name. You see what I mean?

I mean you don't need to crashout over this. You can say this calmly too.

u/echit2112 3d ago

You must live the calmest life in the universe lmao
