ChaosAD,

What’s the point? Try to scare people away?

The casual user don’t know better to understand that even with this points it is better to support firefox that is the ONLY browser that is holding on against chomium supremacy.

The advanced user already know all that “controversy”

ChaosAD,

It feels like you think only noobs and casual users should talk in this community then? Why is that?

That’s not what I said. I meant the casual user/noob which is the majority in the internet and is the one we need to bring to use FF (yes, we need that people, if the user base is thin enough the browser will die) will not dig enough into the controversies and might think: both (FF and Chromium) are bad… doesn’t matter it is not worth the effort to replace the browser.

It is to give people talking points against criticism of firefox if handled correctly.

This I agree, I think if we take that road and phrased this way it will be a good thing. Explaining that even with all the evil in FF it is still better than Chromium.

ChaosAD,

You are good. Sometimes we get emotional about our loved browser.

ChaosAD,

And you fail to understand how terrible monoculture software is for the freedom of the web.

Stop to spread misinformation.

ChaosAD,

With all due respect, do you even develop?

ChaosAD,

I was going more for the meme then for insulting, sorry. The main problem is the API is very different between the platforms, for what I’ve seen I don’t think this is a trivial task. Also there is a lot more to deal with than when he was developing for reddit, his app account for federation problem/features that aren’t implemented in any other app yet.

Me personally still prefer Jerboa, but I think the Sync dev deserve credit for his work, and how much he thinks he should charge is subjective.

As long as this money isn’t going to a big corp this is fine. Also he brought many to the fediverse with his action.

ChaosAD,

Why not chromium?

ChaosAD,

dear Firefox is getting into the trend.

care to explain?

ChaosAD,

you saying that from an openly radical leftist instance is intriguing.
