@sam @michjnich Is this related to that whole fascist coup thing happening in the US or did April 1st come early this year?

@benjaoming
It does feel a bit coincidental to me... Which makes me suspicious.

Just wish there was a decent non chrome alternative!!

What difference does it make if Mozilla is mostly funded by Google anyways? Personally I don't mind Chromium-based browsers, like Brave. It's stable, secure, fast, and it's a very easy option to recommend to new/non-techy users because it's so easy to get started with and has a built-in ad blocker (which works on YouTube). The ad blocker, along with the fact that it mostly works exactly like what people are used to (Chrome), is in my experience the biggest selling point.
