That doesn’t even make sense. You bots need better prompts

Huh, do we have engagement bots in Lemmy already?

We’re thriving guys!

Probably just young

Maybe used Chrome for years before ever hearing about Firefox

Care to elaborate? It’s actually not like chrome at all. The engine is different, it’s not Google, they haven’t blocked manifest v2 plugins… Other than being a web browser, how would you classify it as Chrome?

Not only are they different, Gecko is like 12 years older than Chromium.

I guess they could be referring to how much money Google throws at Mozilla to keep Google Search as standard in Firefox? Still, it’s a tenuous link at best

In about:config check with what google services, urls, relays, vpns browser communicates. What organizations donate most money.

Hardly makes it “Chrome with extra steps”.

Did you actually look inside?

I don’t have to. Yea, it shares some backend Google services, but the rest of the browser, like the other 90% isn’t Chrome. It’s like comparing Windows and Mac OS and saying that they’re the same because they both connect to the same Internet and that their operating systems. Just like Chrome v Firefox, they are two distinctly different products.

You can say that about almost every browser, but not Firefox.

Still time to delete this

I’ve never seen a more downvoted comment. This is true for every single other mainstream browser except Firefox.

Some forks of Firefox are ok, but if you actually dig and look inside about:config you’ll see with who it communicates, what telemetry it collects. What organisations fund it.

Lol no

Thanks for the laugh!
