Nah, they don't just like it; they're married to it. And with that into the clan that wanders around the steppes, downvoting every thing that challenges them and their beloved. This is, in essence, The Browser War that really doesn't have any other participants.

Is their beloved good? lol, well it's constantly in the news for all the wrong reasons. Is it a good experience? If you're into being a sub, yes. Does it perform well? Such questions are not allowed in the clan, but they believe it to be so based on clan size.

Most of all, they swear against Chromium, but park their Steam icons right next to Firefox on their desktop trays.

There is no mercy for anyone seen not using Firefox. Mixed-browser friendships are an abomination. Not caring much about extensions is death.

You seem to have got all worked up over this.

Just so you know, caring about what browser someone uses and recommending one are two separate things.

I couldnt give a fuck if you use Vivaldi, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge or anything else. I just prefer to recommend the open source ones, that are not holding a massive market share and run on an engine that is controlled by Google.

Like, relax man.
