your pixel probably runs graphene, degoogle it.

you could probably run linux on it today too.

i literally just found out i want something like this too.

browsers are not a market in themselves, browsers are used to browse the internet. they are irrelevant without the context around it.

if google or cloudflare decide to create some bullshit attestation system to lock alternatives out and vendors adopt it, it doesn’t matter how many options you have. and they seem to be scoping out how to do just that.

cloudflare rules the infrastructure in the middle, google rules both ends as it controls the browser and some of the code that runs on the backend.

you are making a nonsensical comparison.

the duopoly that reigns the internet is google and cloudflare. this changes nothing.

they monopolize the internet infratructure. they can very well be the ones enforcing mainstream browsers.

and they do. they challenge firefox users much more when they have adblockers on and such. they have the capability to do more.

i compared it to firefox, saying sucking up to oligarchies for money gets you tied up with them and prevents you from challenging them.

no use in challenging “the browser market” when you are getting funded by the very same actors keeping it the way it is.

we can’t. but we can impose boundaries to corporations destroying our entire work for a few bucks.

open source doesn’t mean pushover to capital. read the GPL if you want to get an idea how we do this the proper way.

did i ever make that claim or imply it anywhere?

bad take

that’s like taking money from google just so they aren’t considered monopolies in the browser segment.

doesn’t “challenge” no status quo.

to be fair “apolitical” usually leans right-wing

boss: sure, i will pay two million dollars for some company to sell me a controller that’s actually just as cheap.

ladybird browser coming up with status quo integration so they challenge status quo.

it’s like these browser devs have no idea what people actually want in a browser.
