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.

Every website knows what browser you’re using unless you change your user agent to pretend to be a different one (although even that won’t always work). The banner is a little weird, but it really is good advice, chromium based browsers are a huge danger to the open web
Based Xenia suggesting browsers for an open and healthy web. Go Xenia!
yes!! It would also be based to suggest all browsers!!
You mean the ones for a closed and unhealthy web? :P
Maybe they could recommend Windows as well, while they’re at it, haha.
This account really doesn’t look like it’s a novelty account/a troll and that concerns me
After scrolling for the last 15min out of interest, I concluded, it’s just some kid: https://lemmy.world/post/9536754
why does that make you concerned?? I hope you are ok!! I like all software and I love Linux but in the end I love technology and what matters is that I promote software friendship!! Available for everyone!!
Oh you’re young, sorry for the offensive wording. I saw you’re programming and trying technology out - good on you! I hope you’ll never lose your excitement about technology.
It’s quite a political thing, but I am sure you’ll find your way around it.I know everything about the current status of open source, I’ve read about Richard Stallman, about how he dislikes the word open source, but what we need to understand is that all software can be nice, nya!! And it’s ok I forgive you meow.
may I ask, how much anime do you watch?
I suggest you to use all browsers!11!1
Checking if the user is using Firefox is pretty easy:
CSS.supports('(-moz-user-input: none)') // only returns true in FFok thank you!! But why would the owner put that message?? We’re all Linux fans so it doesn’t matter what browser we use!!!
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!!
Chrome, and browsers based on it, currently account for more than three quarters of web traffic. This gives Google a huge amount of power over the web and how people are able to interact with it. Google is also a company who’s primary business is advertising and surveillance; this means they have every incentive to curtail your ability to stop websites from spying on you and force you to use the web on their terms. They’re currently exercising this power with the rollout of Manifest V3, where they’re severely limiting the functionality of content blocking extensions like uBlock Origin.
Oh neat, we commented pretty much the same thing at the same time. I feel like yours is better written though
Damn, what are the odds?
well at least they make and maintain Linux versions!!
It’s easy to do when your browser is based on GTK. In reality they do the bare minimum.
It’s clearly a play on the fact Xenia is a Fox.
I know of one Fox, and he is Fox McCloud.
