Moved from Netscape to Firefox and never used IE or Chrome. I never understood the obsession with anything made by Google, glad its going to finally all fall apart for them.
There was a tiny window of time back before like 2010 where Google was legitimately a good choice. At the time Chrome came out, Firefox was having some notorious performance/bloat issues, and conversely Chrome was light and fast. Lots of stuff that came out around 2000-2010 from Google was legit best in class, and they were still generally in their "don't be evil era." That's obviously gone way out the window and has for some time. I started switching away from Google stuff around the time they killed Reader, and I'm glad I did because they've only gotten increasingly awful.
Nothing is falling apart for them. Do you remember IE times? "Everyone" hated it, "everyone" used it just to install Chrome/Firefox/whatever on new devices. And yet - the vast majority never even thought of using anything else.
Google dorks are game changer for OSINT things.
You've been playing the long game!
