please don’t harrass or insult that website, but I recently browsed that website because I wanted to get a wallpaper, but then I realized the top bar was saying “Xenia suggests you get Firefox”, wait what?? She wouldn’t suggest that first of all, second, this means that the website knows if you are using Google or Firefox, so that can be a harmful addition. I will talk to the owner maybe, that is bad because all browsers can be good!! And that website is really pretty but I dislike that top bar.

    It really does, if we give Google a monopoly over the web browser market they have way more power to do things like restricting ad blockers and tracking users. Remember: Google is an advertising company, they make their money from collecting user data and serving targeted ads. Everything else they do is secondary at this point and they will absolutely use their other products to increase the money they make from advertising as much as they can

      ok… well as long as they allow Firefox and the other browsers to be fine then that’s ok, and teach people to use other browsers if they want to of course!!
