Swap Chrome/Chromium for Firefox

Looks like Chrome has hit a wall. Move to Firefox in the meantime.

Blaming a programming language for your own faults.
Main reason I use chrome is the instant history sync with phone and pc.
I may be an idiot but I prefer to have Google keep my search history, so that I might find something I looked up in 2013 on history.google.com ?
Enjoy meditation without religion for one month.
As Far As I Know,
Has something like that too, maybe not exactly like
But, still works.
Yes, Firefox Sync. It works well.
Ugh, ZDnet, and engilsh majors writing about technology.
I'm a Firefox user, so it really is the content of the article and not some Google fetish or large corp bootlicking.
Right.
"Going forward, Google says it plans to look into developing custom C++ libraries to use with Chrome's codebase, libraries that have better protections against memory-related bugs."
Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, in my college CS classes and OpenBSD. I thought this was common practice in the industry for working with C and C++?
People still use chrome. Smh.
I'm the 85%. Also Elon likes memes hence he's an idiot.
Yeah it is, that's why I'm so surprised to see this coming from a Google engineer. A bunch of things are written in C, including the Linux kernel and various services. It might be more difficult to implement code in a secure way using C, but it's not exactly rocket science either.
Not exactly back full-time, but I hope to clear enough off my plate to.

Indeed. SEI CERT C Coding Standard
As others will point out, memory safety is great for stuff running in userspace, and it's mostly about programmer productivity. When memory safety is turned off, for the kind of things that happen in kernel space for instance, the memory safe language is just as error prone as C.
I want to say this had something to do with OpenBSD, and a mailing list discussion about why they aren't switching to Rust.
I don't like pointers either.
