    Change the sentence “Do you use browsers other than the mainstream ones like Chrome or Firefox” because Firefox is already a very small third-party browser.

      How is Firefox a small 3rd party browser? FF is the basis for browsers like libreoffice, icewolf etc… it is not 3rd party, it is first party like chrome, opera and safari. Actually if you want to go that far, chrome actually started off as a fork of opera

        I understand what glad_cat means, and they are kinda correct. On the other hand, FF (at least, for now) won’t be implementing this change.

          I do too, but his reasoning is flawed. Based on his reasoning that would be saying Lemmy is a third party site because it doesn’t have the user share that Reddit does.

          Microsoft’s edge browser is a fork of chromium, it’s not even first party anymore, like IE was.
