This is a bit of an aside, but google releases a lot of security updates for Chrome. Sometimes 2-3 a month. Not sure if Firefox does the same since I only see the notices about Chrome. Not sure if it is a good thing that they fix problems quickly or a bad thing that there are so many problems.

What happens if you download a different executable file?

Firefox thinks Chrome is unsafe as well.

Enshittification is everywhere.

Well thats true though…

Of course! With it’s ad-blocking features, Firefox threatens the Chrome/Alphabet profits! This cannot be legal in a free (to make profits) country! /s

I’ve noticed YouTube acting funny in Firefox, too. Full-screen no longer works on our Galaxy Tab A using Firefox with ublock. On my PC, YouTube seems to randomly switch audio devices to output to. Neither of those problems exist in Chrome or the YouTube app. They didn’t exist in Firefox either until recently. Almost like it’s intentional…

Ublock also works better on firefox was using somebody else’s computer who had ubo on chrome and a popup showed up on Kelley Blue Book but the same pop up didn’t show up on ubo+firefox

Remember when the meme was about Internet Explorer?

IE: What is my purpose?

Me: You download Chrome!

IE: Oh…my god!

Now Chrome isn’t trusted. Even duck duck go is getting dubious. It seems there’s almost nowhere to turn. Your data is their data, and if you dont like it, you can lump it.

What’s up with ducky?

Basically microsoft has a deal with them which makes them give aggregate data to microsoft. Which led to this.

P.S. : I am primarily still using ddg in case someone’s thinking I’m an anti or something.

Ok, seems it’s time to seek next search engine.

greywolf0x1 ,

I use both SearX and LibreX alongside DDG and that helps with 99% of my daily search online.

If I need to use Google for search, I do so in my tor browser.

My favorite is Edge trying to plead with you not to switch browsers

At work, we subscribe to Microsoft Defender so that we get a centralised view of potential security issues on people’s computers.

It’s always saying that there’s something wrong with Chrome and it never alerts about the same issues that are almost certainly a problem with Edge.

That’s mildly infuriating too.

So, have you filed a complaint yet? www.ftc.gov/…/report-antitrust-violation

Unsafe… for our margins!

Didn’t happen to me on windows! ¯⁠\⁠⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠⁠/⁠¯

Where did you get the installer from? I can’t reproduce that problem on my machine.

Unless you mean the warning that applies to all executable files (“this file type could be dangerous”) but that’s just basic security that Firefox also (should) have.

ratman150 ,

While this could be malice it just as likely could be a complete error. I recently had to download a tool related to x11 on Firefox on windows and it also blocked the download as unsafe. Weirder still, it did this every time I started Firefox until I ended up ditching windows. No idea why.
