    Although this is very good news, I’m afraid that Chromium market share is way too massive right now and it’s been snowballing for a while. Even Edge is Chromium based now, which comes pre-installed with Windows systems, and of course Chrome comes pre-installed on, well, Chromebooks.

    I love Firefox, I’ve been using it for many years. It’s been really sad to see its market share get less and less every year and I don’t really have an answer to what Mozilla can do to increase the market share.

    In my opinion, burning holy books is just pointless provocation. This person even did it on a holy day as well to enrage/upset more people. I’m pretty sure plenty of Christian folks would be upset...

    In my opinion, burning holy books is just pointless provocation. This person even did it on a holy day as well to enrage/upset more people. I’m pretty sure plenty of Christian folks would be upset if some people went in front of a church during the Christmas service and burnt the Bible.

    I am not a religious person myself, and I don’t agree with calling for heads to roll and violence in protest to the burning of the Quran, however this feels like all it’s going to do is to further the divide between people and cause more hate.

    I am a bit more drawn than I'd like, but I think once Apollo stops working I think I'll be much less on there. I can't stand using the official app, and I don't want to use old.reddit on mobile...

    I am a bit more drawn than I'd like, but I think once Apollo stops working I think I'll be much less on there. I can't stand using the official app, and I don't want to use old.reddit on mobile either. I've been lurking here quite a bit and also on fediverse (kbin). Like others have said, I don't think you (or anyone) should feel guilty about using it. There is so much content there that it's almost impossible to completely avoid it.

    On a side note, I have been feeling that the quality of the content has really been lower compared to a few weeks ago, or maybe I just kind of "grew out of it".
