Only a matter of time when Chromium operating subsystem start to be incompatible with Firefox.

So, all those years creating "web standards" are for nothing, as turned out with too many standards no one is able to implement them, leaving only one existing browser to still operate. We won't even know if websites are compatible with a standard anymore, because Chrome interpretation might me different from any other.

It was a power grab not a standardization. They planned this to wall you outta their networks if you won’t let them spy on you.

Mozilla is making a great pivot to integrate AI into Firefox. Totally what people want. /s

The Librewolf project is up to date Firefox core with some hardening and the telemetry going back to Mozilla removed - good stuff.

I want it, and I want it in a browser that isn't controlled by Google.

I was just thinking about it and I had switched to Firefox back when I left Reddit over the whole API thing and joined Lemmy.

If your version of Chromium has the ability to disable 3rd party cookies then it's not affected by this, yet, but eventually they will program an "alternative" way to provide this data to advertisers so definitely start shopping for a new browser I guess.
