Comment on Chrome increases its overwhelming market share, now over 70%

I’ve been noticing a lot of sites that just refuse to work when not using some Chromium browser. More so than usual. Clearly not a coincidence.

It’s bullshit but I’m too tired to fight it sometimes. Especially for college, I don’t want teachers bitching at me for a test glitching or a textbook link not working, so I just use ungoogled Chromium as a replacement. I use Librewolf for personal browsing which is more likely to break shit + uBlock, so I’d have to make a whole nother profile for school that has reduced security and disable most of uBlock to do my work. But to go through all those hoops is tiring.
Schools are just forcing people to give up their privacy, especially since you know non-techy students aren’t gonna do stuff like have a separate profile for their school and private browsing, so now Google knows all their shit. Plus Firefox has become the “green bubble shaming” of browsers I guess, cause I’ve had several friends and randos tease me and make it seem like FF is obsolete or something and, “why not use Edge or Chrome?” 🙄
