I mean it’s not like China was open and allowed competition from western companies.

I don’t know which company you’re referring to, but I think it’s pretty damn likely that China also classifies them as a military company too.

I fail to see the hypocrisy that you appear to be implying.

Not just Google. There was a performance “bug” in Windows Defender a while back that specifically harmed Firefox. It had been reported but Microsoft took 5+ years to fix.

Now, whether MS were intentionally crippling a competitor’s browser in the beginning when the bug surfaced, there’s no way to know.

But after a certain point, a software company with a market cap in the trillions loses any benefit of doubt I’d give them in scenarios like this where it benefits them not to find a solution. And 5 years is far beyond that point.

Unfortunately for Firefox, they didn’t really have the money for a lawsuit against a juggernaut like Microsoft.

It would be more simple to call some things basic, but it’ll never happen for the same reason food and drinks places have started drifting away from calling things “small, medium, large” and towards the much more stupid “Regular, Large, Extra-Large”. Starbucks goes even more pretentious with it.

You’d be more likely to have something extremely dumb like Premium (shit-tier), Premium Pro (midrange), Premium Ultra (actually premium).

Well I use Arch Fedora btw

You see they’re bots if you open their profile and read some subtext.

Do you see it clearly marked in your feed if one of the bots posts something, shares something, or comments something?

That’s a genuine question - I don’t actually know. But it should be marked very clearly without having to open the profile, because people generally don’t do that.
