A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

There’s nothing to understand. Google has over 60% market capture, safari has 20%. It’s not even close. And I never said they “need” to, I’m saying “why would they question it  when it’s everywhere?” I completely agree that we should get off of it. You need to slow your roll dude.
Ease off the throttle with the caps. I use FF. We need to educate people. Not fly off the handle at people who agree with you about the problem.
I really don't understand why people get so confrontational about this kind of thing. It's a fucking web browser. I have a strong opinion about how they should be developed, but it has never been important to me to actually care what other people choose to use, especially not to the degree of lashing out at end users.
Educating people on their choices is good, but nobody should be getting this worked up over user choice.
