I'm sorry, but suggesting that I move to a no-name chromium fork maintained by one person because I miss a Firefox extension is absurd. Perhaps I should also leave my country because my local grocery store doesn't carry the cereal I like.

> why do you just take it?

Must be my insatiable masochism.



It's not a no name chromium fork, it's literally the only chromium browser for android that supports extensions. This makes it a very powerful and popular piece of software. Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it's time to get nasty.

The analog you drew to cereal at the grocery store doesn't fit. It's not about the missing feature, it is about the deliberate kneecapping of functionality. I refuse to use a tool that deliberately, artificially and arbitrarily prevents me from using it the way I need to use it.

Firefox deliberately reduced the utility of their tool in order to constrain my behavior. And the only argument I hear in defense is "but we are all that's left that isn't them!" Fuck that noise. If it's crucial for the web for you to retain your users, quit fucking over your users. If you're all that's left then act like you care before you ask me to care.
