As soon as adblock stops working the nerds will move.

Then after a while the non nerds will hear about it from the nerds...then suddenly everyone needs to support Firefox again..

Anyone still using chrome doesn't deserve the nerd tag. How many neurons does it take to understand the consequences of using it? 3?

Eh, don't gate keep. You can be a nerd in very many things and honestly a lot of nerds still use chrome and windows because that's what works. I use Firefox daily and it breaks a lot of sites. I can't even log into patreon with disabling firefoxs Cross site blocking because I use Google oauth to log in.

The sites are broken, FireFox doesn't break them. They make the choice to use non-standard features.

I was under the impression cross-site cookies are a standard feature per the RFC, though? Or is Patreon using some kind of non-standard extension?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I don't know the standard but if Google is involved you know they are going to be pushing people to use their own 'extensions' of the standard to lock both the hosts and users into their ecosystem. It's the same thing as Microsoft's ActiveX making sites IE only in the early 2000s.
