This isn't "backfiring" though. People who were already blocking ads are the only ones doing this. If there's even a small portion of people who gave up and just started watching ads/got premium, that means YouTube won. The only way this could really be considered to have backfired is if people were stopping using YouTube entirely, which isn't really happening.

Looks fantastic! Ork stuff makes so much sense to do from scratch, because you can just go crazy with whatever you want and just go "on yeah that's orky".

This is a really bad summary, FYI to those reading

Didn't occur to me that OPR is probably pretty popular on the fediverse, but it makes sense and I'm down for it.

Legally, he can't say otherwise. Our CEO said the same thing, immediately followed by "but I don't know why anyone would do that, we are so much better without a union".

You've got it all wrong. It's supposed to be a small cave behind a giant waterfall, not the other way around.

A good chunk of games DID change with it. The Unity engine makes it very simple to design games for Web. But it's also easy to make those simple games for mobile instead, which has fewer restrictions abd is more prolific. In fact, a good chunk of the bigger flash game companies migrated to mobile. There's just little demand for a web game when I can create a mobile one, monetize it more easily, and reach a larger audience by making it for mobile instead

It's distinctly fine nowadays. Old Edge was absolute garbage, modern one is a Microsoft version of Chrome. The problem is that I don't want to swap one mega Corp for another, I want to have a good product. It's very rarely going to be the best browser for any user, and if I were going to default to recommending one to non-tech users, I'd still rather just say Firefox.
