When I eventually managed to test Arc, I felt it was a very overhyped browser. I couldn't see what the fuss was about.

    You mean the one from the company that pays out their CEO a fat $6m salary, paid for by Google bribing Mozilla to be the default search engine?

    I don't trust your recommendation. Do you even realise you're being herded like sheep?

    (I actually use it too, but I won't pretend they're saints. It also occasionally has trouble with some websites, but I haven't done any comprehensive testing to confirm whether it's browser-specific.)

    Clearly if you arnt building your own web browser from the ground up, your a sheep. This is the only logical conclusion!!1!1!

    Obviously. It's the only way to be sure it has exactly the features I want and nothing else. Anyone recommending anything else has clearly been deluded to accept mediocrity. How else could they think something other than my exact tastes is decent?

    Lol, but seriously every modern browser is basically crap ran or controlled by a large company that does fucked up or less then ideal things.

    Yeah, it's fucked that we basically have to pick what flavour of shit we'd hate least. And once we're all settled in with our least disgusting brand, we obviously don't want to move anymore. I'm sticking with Firefox and probably will for some time to come. Adjusting to a different UI, migrating all my bookmarks and finding equivalents for my extensions is an effort.

    Maybe some alternative will eventually entice me enough to overcome my reluctance to mix up my digital environment. I just hope it'll be by actually being good, rather than just "not as bad".
