It's kinda sad that without Mozilla, Raymond, the NoScript guys and TOR we would lose control over the internet pretty much immediately

I definitely agree, although really a LOT of non-Linux/(IT) guys use Chrome, some even Edge, if on Windows

IT person...

Uses chrome....

Both cannot be true friend, sorry. Your buddy is either a fake engineer or their main job isn't IT.

If you really have friends in IT they haven't used chrome or edge in a while, or their using the scripting bot for weekly progress reports to their boss, and they're only using it for that...

this is the stupidest comment I have read all week. chromenis fucking INFESTED in IT field. literally almost everyone uses it in my class, I'm a third year student in ict-engineering. literally everyone used it in my last school too, which was also IT related. if you actually believe that you must not really see other IT people outside the linux circles

Chrome has become the baseline to support for every kind of web application out there since every major browser other than firefox and safari is a chrome reskin anyway

You don't want to start this conversation, it's a race to absolutism and purity tests at odds with one another. You say Firefox and someone comes in a calls you an idiot because you're not using a fully FOSS browser or one that is inadequately hardened or one that supports the installation of content-management modules.
