Honest question, why does the fediverse like firefox so much? This is not a common opinion to have on the internet, but everyone here and on mastodon seems to have it.

Because otherwise you'd be supporting the Chromium monopoly, and that's the biggest sin imaginable in the Fediverse.

Sin? I just want there to be competitors.

Firefox is the competition.. To market dominated Chromium.

Can I interest you in links?

Or how about lynx?

I'm not in favor of talking about the Fediverse like it is a data monopoly like META or reddit. Lots of people make this place work in operations and content. Seems not that cool to slam them.

Safari user sitting quietly in the corner

Here's the best part to that. Safari's back end is called WebKit. At one point in time it was considered best in class. It was also the backend for Chrome as well for awhile.

They forked it into Blink a long time ago now. They've diverged significantly since then.
