Isn’t that the shiny stuff you hang from trees in the winter?

No that’s tinsel

Oh yeah, Gretel’s brother

Nah, you’re thinking of Hansel. It’s actually an online community of people who can’t get laid despite really wanting to.

A thin layer of chromium on the surface of a metal to make it shiny and protect from corrosion.

Delicious when hexavalent

I used to work in manufacturing and we made a sort of tube socket that was cadmium plated on the outside and chrome plated on the inside.

I wonder how many people got cancer plating those things. Ironically, all of the platers were in California because it was banned for new plating centers in most other states.

Chromium is the browser that I open a few times a year for websites that don’t support Firefox. A few may be a gross over estimate.

Fair, I just abandon the site. It’s their problem not mine.

It’s really seldom, but a few years back there was a government website that only worked with chrome or edge that I had to use. I had one the other night and found a work around. It’s a rare occurrence, and usually I can avoid it, but sometimes I have to just suck it up, do the deed, and bail.

I don’t design web apps but I’ve heard from some that do that firefox occasionally has problems with them, because it relies a lot on caching (actually they used the term “aggressive caching”, with a few extra choice words).

Anyway, usually not a problem. I use edge only for work since it’s the default browser and I barely do any actual browsing with it, mostly light app clients. On my own devices, it’s been firefox only for years.

Nowadays, just changing the user agent would be enough to make the site work again.
