@kyva ¿que las dos cosas se merecen que les pongan una bomba?

@sqhistorian but the lack of preservation is done on purpose. It's in the best interest of the corporations to reduce the life span* of videogames so you have to buy the shiny new thing that will make them the most profits, instead of playing your old games.

*with the exception being games like Fortnite that have in-game purchases, hence they continue making them money.

@stupidjim @campuscodi your comment is accurate.

What makes Firefox better is that it's in fact the only major browser which develops their own web engine. Everything else is just Chromium reskinned. Edge? Microsoft Chrome. Opera? Chinese Chrome. Brave? Cryptobro Chrome.

What's the issue with every major browser being based on chromium? That Google singlehandedly controls the web standards. Yeah, that corporations whose profits come from violating everyone's privacy and that has already attempted to introduce various privacy invasive technologies.

And yes, Safari is also not Chromium, but it's Apple-only and while they release WebKit as open source, there are multiple reasons why no major browser is based on it.

So yeah, using Firefox is a better option if we want to avoid the web to be under Google's tyranny.

@medina87 @stupidjim @campuscodi @jztusk Vivaldi is just Chromium with some UI added on top.

As I said in my comment, there are currently only three major web engines: blink (chromium, Google), WebKit (safari, Apple) and Gecko (Firefox, Mozilla).

Everything else is just based on one of those. The vast majority of them, in Google's.
