well sure but for some reason i think jones uses a lot of google services

e: genuinely curious btw, not a call-out

the only one i use is gmail. opera is a weirdo also-ran that was awful the last time i checked (admittedly it's been a long time) and all the others (brave etc) are hosed up grifts. iirc chromium is a pain to use wrt. extensions and all that, but i had forgotten it existed and will check it out before dehumanizing and facing to microsoft - thank you for the reminder!

but yeah "real actual support" is the main reason.

ahh i see. i have no idea if opera is any good either, i just remember they switched over to using blink also

i haven't used it in months but chromium works pretty well ime. it's not that hard to install extensions, afaict the process is basically the same as chrome

depending on how you choose to view it, edge is chrome with all the google spyware stripped out, or edge is chromium with the support of real developers at a real company. it's good

microsoft's primary business isn't harvesting and selling your personal information, though. they make their money ripping off large corporations, which as i have noted before is generally a healthy and admirable business model. i get the feeling that they do the analytics mostly because data wrangler middle managers get hard-ons for dashboards with numbers on them.

google's entire business is tracking what you do and selling that to anyone who will pay. that's much more detestable

why would you assume microsoft doesn't also do this? it might not be their primary business but they absolutely do sell ads

oh lol I don't use Twitch other than the very occasional glance at a stream so I didn't know there's 'clips' of the best bits.

Seymour going weirdly religious because of 'Ye Gods' and 'Delightfully Devilish' in the script is a new favourite thing

Hecate: https://streamscharts.com/clips?clip=GleamingIncredulousReindeerUnSane-YYrJYamCRMzXn3U1
