    what i want to understand beyond just “did you know chrome bad” is why laymen are so insistent on it.

    so we can break it.

        oh fuck, this one always hurt. simulating chrome through a user agent swap works?

        what stops you from using firefox for everything else?

      (primarily firefox user here) the Google account being able to be used as a universal login is sorta convenient (at the expense of privacy) Snapchat web (at least previously) requiring it to work (or at least it’s user agent) and an all in all slightly cleaner (more samey) experience.

        i mean if you login with google on any google site on firefox, it will also log you in to everything…

        and being cleaner is a matter of habit tbh, they look very similar
