        I know everyone downvoted you a ton but I’d be kinda curious to hear why you have such a strong preference for avoiding gecko, and what mozilla policies you take issues with

        I kinda wonder if there’s a similar extension or functionality available for Chromium based browsers…

            In my experience it’s been less hive-mindy than reddit was, but to be completely honest I think you kinda get out what you put in

            If you approach things combatively, you’ll get combativeness. If you approach things with curiosity, I find you get openness and a willingness to engage with folks sincerly.

            Not sure why you’d wish the death of a platform people are enjoying and that serves as a small escape from the broader corporate web, just because you personally didn’t like it.

            I rather like it here, I’d be really sad to see this space cease to exist. It sounds like you’d be better served by going somewhere you like more instead of staying here and just spouting bitterness :(

                I think it’s pretty fair to describe ‘wishing for the death of things other people are enjoying’ as spreading bitterness 😅

                I’m sorry to hear you’ve had a bad experience in your time here. I hope you find somewhere you feel more at home, best of luck to you too

        There’s many things I dislike about how Mozilla operates, they are however completely outweighed by the massive list of things I dislike about Google.

        Seeing as the only realistic options for browsers use either Blink or Gecko as their engine, I’d much rather use Mozilla’s offering than contribute (even if ever so slightly) to Google’s monopolizing of the web.
