When will people switch away from Chrome to other browsers? I get it, Chrome sets the standards and it's hard to switch away from them, but it's necessary to ensure the survival of the Internet.

They wouldn’t set the standard anymore if nobody used them.

The W3 spec is dominated by Google's submissions afaik.

Because everyone uses them.

I doubt most people even know you can change it. Edge is the default browser on windows. Chromium. Chrome is the default browser on android (though I suppose Samsung has a custom browser and they're the main android device people are buying)

Ugh, any Samsung app is equivalent to internet explorer. Gross

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Idk, I think I'd rather use IE than any Samsung app. At least IE tried to do some interesting things and tried to be customer focused...
