The thing about. Firefox, or Linux. Is to me they're "second choices". They're not what I wanted to be using. But I'm happy to put up with their little frustrations and frictions because they're ideologically better than the dead corporate works I left behind.
Except then Linux and Firefox adopt corporate ideologies. The worst corporate ideologies. And suddenly these little frustrations and frictions become VERY UPSETTING.

@mcc@mastodon.social Firefox is my 'angry choice'. It's what I feel I have to use to stave off the Chromium Hegemony. The company continually disappoints me. They should be a bastion for the common user, but instead they are just like any other loser tech cult company.

@mcc@mastodon.social I get this. For decades Linux/Firefox WERE my first choices...but I was unable to use them, mostly, because corporate worked so hard to ensure that they were useless for serious work...until corporate was forced to accept them and then poisoned them both. So now I can use my first choices but I /no longer want to/.
