It’s pretty shocking that Firefox has so much use here! In a quick scan through the thread, I haven’t seen ANY Chrome users! But it’s supposed to be the clear winner of the browser wars, how come so many Lemmy users avoid it? I’m not complaining mind you, I use Firefox itself, but the cultural difference is striking.
I’ve been thinking a bit at how users self-select in different communities. I often make the same comment on Mastodon and Bluesky, and tech topics do MUCH better on Mastodon, despite the considerably smaller userbase, while general social media stuff does a little better on Bluesky. It’s so interesting!
It all boils down to the echo chambers. People who surf web without any adblockers are usually the ones that are not tech savvy as much as the ones who would never surf without uBO. We are on Lemmy after all. This is not a “normie” social media.
