    Well then I’ll make my own browser! With blackjack! And hookers!

    Oh. Wait…that’s just tor-browser.

    Hey! Why not add an AI assistant that summarizes each page I visit! It would be awesome 😎. But only if the computation is done off-site. I don’t want to bother my computer cpu too much…this page depicts 7 consenting adults engaging in what would otherwise be described as an Australian cum slut gangbang clusterfuck with a 3 finger twist and large bottle of rum up the asshole…

    Joe! Joe! Come here quick! Remember the dude from yesterday? Yeah, cum slut cluster fuck? Exactly! Look he’s asking for it again! I think he likes it. Why don’t we send his information to the appropriate authorities?

    …ring ring! Yes? Is this the guy who really likes Australia cluster fuck videos? Ehhh, why would you ask such a thing?..well I am the authority on this topic! I wrote the book, see?..and another page …and another page… Yeah, it’s mostly photos of me and my 6 male friends. Oh! Ah!.. Can I help you? Well I didn’t bring my 6 friends with me but do you have sex guy friends? Oh I said sex, didn’t I. Yeah I do have sex friends! Wait a minute, did Mozilla Firefox sent you after they shared my most intimate searches thru the NSA AI servers? Gosh darn it! Well it doesn’t matter, what’s done is done. I guess I’ll just take my pants off, go ahead and get more comfortable too. You want anything to eat while we wait here for my six friends? One of them is really fat, is that okay? I mean he’s really, like you know, morbidly obese sort of fat. I hope you are okay with his girth.

    And Soo the user had a great time thanks to Mozilla Firefox. The end! She was never found until the x-ray, when her body was found biologically fused and bonded to the user’s friend’s body along with two other doctors from previous visits. It was pretty bad. It was big news in Australia 🦘.

    I gotta go sleep 💤😴💤💤.

    Google chrome, unfortunately is still very alive and well.

    You can still block ads system-wide with adguard for desktop…Not sure if it works on linux. But there’s also nextDNS, very easy to set up when you use yogaDNS. Or nextDNS’s own app to do it.

    You need to pay for those things, but paying for adblockers is better than paying each individual website you go to to not have ads

    Noooooo.

    I like my Extensions.

    The internet isn’t worth having without Ublock, Ghostery, Scriptmonkey, etc.

      It’s not dead. It’s just the default option for boomers.

      It’s like Internet Explorer or Netscape. It exists so you csn download something better.

        I don’t think you fully understand just how much the ‘default’ is. Between edge and chrome it’s the default for everything.

        Introducing children to the Internet? Chrome. Old folks? Chrome. businesses? Chrome (sometimes edge). Personal use for 90% of people? chrome.

        (also edge is used to install something better which again, for 90% of people, is chrome.)

      Don’t think it’s talking about “death” just enshitification

      Side note: gotdamn firefox is less than 3.0% According to the same website, Linux is at 4.5% marketshare. It’s rarer to use firefox than linux (I’m on iceweasel btw)

    There will be no improvement with browsers until the introduction of one with a strong copyleft license.

      I’m curious, how would copyleft license improve the quality of browser development? That is really about funding and management.

        Chromium is fully entrenched. “strong copyleft”? Even Microsoft bent to the will of Chromium. And Firefox is just a silly thing where people like me hang on

          If I remember correctly it’s under a copy left license which makes sense given it’s ultimately a derivative of KHTML.

            KHTML is a discontinued browser engine that was developed by the KDE project. It originated as the engine of the Konqueror browser in the late 1990s, but active development ceased in 2016. It was officially discontinued in 2023. Built on the KParts framework and written in C++, KHTML had relatively good support for Web standards during its prime. Engines forked from KHTML are used by most of the browsers that are widely used today, including WebKit and Blink

      Ok I’m probably just a simpleton who doesn’t get it…but is this comic really suggesting that HTML5 I’d a negative thing, and worse, is the drumbeat of a tyrannical web?

      I mean really…HTML5 is one of the best things to happen to the Web and the W3C is imo the essential glue holding things together.

      Browser inconsistencies are so few and far between now it makes building an inclusive Web much easier, you can almost do it by accident.

    It’s been going for years now. We just don’t want to move away because, frankly, there’s little viable alternatives.

      This is a 100% handmade meme by me lol

      I actually did consider putting IE, but then I realized IE never went through enshittification it was just always shit lmao so it didn’t fit

        IE was had a near monopoly on browsing for a long time after Netscape Navigator enshittified (the true first door).
