#browserwar

So I'd need #Edge for Microsoft services and #Chrome for Google services. I want to use neither of those. All of a sudden, #browser wars have a completely different definition.

This bifurcation is not good.

Microsoft sabotiert Button in Google Chrome und wollte Browserwechsel verhindern - Microsoft - derStandard.at › Web

Best browser that mixes ease of use and security? Firefox? Brave? Chromium? Why are the choices just 'firefox' or 'chrome based'? #browserwar #browsers #security #choices

“Microsoft Edge runs on the same technology as Chrome, with the added trust of Microsoft.” Haha, nice one. An ad injected by the browser, when you visit the Chrome download site. #bigtech #microsoft #browserwar

But the worst here isn't that #Google is actively against the #openWeb: it's that in contrast to the first #browserWar, there is really nobody left to stand up to them.
Consider for example @davew's write-up on Google's effort to deprecate #HTTP
http://this.how/googleAndHttp/
and consider that #Firefox, the only actual alternative, is also on Google's page:
https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2015/04/30/deprecating-non-secure-http/
albeit less aggressively so.

I'm sure people have different ideas about what does it mean to support the #openWeb. I think first and foremost it means allowing users (on both sides of the connection) to use the protocols and file formats of their choice. Every time a browser fails to implement (or worse decides to remove) support for a standard protocol or file format, it's failing the open web. Half-assing implementation of web standards was basically #Microsoft's staple behavior during the first #browserWar.

I don't think people appreciate the role that #OperaSoftware played in fostering the #OpenWeb and #IndieWeb during the first #browserWar (when the #OperaBrowser was still built on their proprietary #Presto engine), and a fortiori the role it had in their demise (when they switched to being “just another #WebKit/#Blink skin”), despite their browser never even reaching a 3% market share.

I come with #Firefox, #Google imposes me its #recaptcha, sometimes asks to come later. I installed an #extension to change #UserAgent, set it to pretend to be #Chrome (on Google only). Visited without problems.
