    How is Firefox a small 3rd party browser? FF is the basis for browsers like libreoffice, icewolf etc… it is not 3rd party, it is first party like chrome, opera and safari. Actually if you want to go that far, chrome actually started off as a fork of opera

      Firefox is used by less than 3% of the users, it should not be used in this sentence. Also I’m not sure they’ll implement the integrity thing, which is another issue.

      I understand what glad_cat means, and they are kinda correct. On the other hand, FF (at least, for now) won’t be implementing this change.

        I do too, but his reasoning is flawed. Based on his reasoning that would be saying Lemmy is a third party site because it doesn’t have the user share that Reddit does.

        Microsoft’s edge browser is a fork of chromium, it’s not even first party anymore, like IE was.
