Real men telnet to the web server and manually type GET commands and read the raw HTML.
Pft you still have to read the HTML? I just stick a fiberoptic in my ass and download it rectally.
Guess you have enough fiber in your diet.
The misuse of this meme is one of my biggest meme pet peeves. Have people forgotten that in that scene, his vision is clear when he's not wearing glasses? So the meme should be the other way around.
Like many memes, this one exists outside of the original oeuvre (movie, painting, etc). For instance, I have not see the movie it comes from, it wouldn't makes sense to me if it was the other way around.
Wouldn't this technically work either way? Like "they all are basically the same if you blur your vision a little bit"
Yeah, they should have used Rowdy Roddy Piper and his sunglasses from They Live.

I feel like we've seen this before.. 
Least we're got support for more fancy CSS properties nowdays, that's something I guess
And Chromium renders transparent PNGs properly. That's also something, I guess.

I hate chromium.
It acts like chrome because IT IS CHROME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Minus the obvious branding and proprietary "Google-y bits" Unfortunately it's the same codebase.
At least Firefox at it's core truly differs.

Recently switched over to mull browser. Fork of the Firefox browser, works great so far. Also if you are unsure of the security of your browser, could use the website, browseraudit.com, that rates your current browsers. Runs 100+ against several tests and reports back.
The illusion of choice.
Honestly, my biggest fear if Apple ever allows other browser engines on iOS is that developers will stop testing on anything other than Chrome. And they will tell iPhone users to "just download Chrome."
I've already heard so many places tell people not to use Firefox or Safari to access their website. It's IE 6 all over again. I hate Chrome and refuse to use it.
They'll pry Firefox from my cold dead hands.

Chromium, privacy chromium, corporate chromium, spyware chromium, there’s so much diversity! /s
iOS be like: they're all safari
Yeah, ain't this the truth. Firefox and safari are the only browsers that arent chromium based. We must protect Firefox at all coats! Without it, Google would have a monopoly on the browser space... a world I would not like to live in.
And even Safari is a Chrome predecessor (roughly KHTML -> WebKit -> Blink).

Bring back Netscape! Actually I would take the old Opera. That was my browser of choice prior to the chrome integration.
Netscape IS Firefox.
Oops! All Chromium
Firefox is the best. There is only Firefox.
or, as i call it: Spyware Safari
Hey. That's not fair. Safari deserves quite a bit of credit for being spyware
Nothing is worse than seeing chromium-based browser users fight other chromium-based browser users. You are all using the same fucking thing!
Meanwhile, our IT department is blocking every browser except for Chrome and Edge. It is infuriating, because out of the list, these two are my least favorite to use (putting it mildly).
Lol.

And we have safari too!
To be fair, WebKit is just Blinks (Chromium) sibling. I'm not sure if KHTML is proud or not.

Cue the chorus of lame excuses as for why people are still using Google Botnet instead of Firefox.
Ah... the first repost I've seen on the threadiverse thus far. I hope this doesn't become a trend.
