Is that a Rick and Morty reference?
It's a Google reference. LGTM is their approval acronym for change control. "Looks/looking good to me"
Is it really a Google reference? Do you have any source for that?

#132Thank God we have the GDPR protecting us from evil corporations, oh my god I love the EU
The EU at least have slapped Google with some modest fines. Hopefully their Chrome nonsense will get them one as well.
Re: Why I’m done with Chrome
#133So I wanted to drop Chrome a while ago, and looked at Chromium. Apparently using the "no sync" version you can no longer even log into Gmail (or any other Google service) on the web. That was definitely the last straw for me losing trust in Google, but there's just no good alternative. I'm not sure where to go from here because it seems pointless to even use Chromium if I can't remove Google from it and still be able…
I’m confused. Are you really claiming you can’t log into gmail in non google browsers? And this comment was upvoted?
Sorry. I call BS.

Re: Why I’m done with Chrome
#135Something, I missed in the article, is Chrome's background in WebKit. (Rather, it seems to convey the impression that this was an original project by Google.)
Anyway, this may also directing us towards a viable alternative: A new, independent and cross-platform repackaging of WebKit2 / WebCore.

#136Between this and their shady browser in China I'm starting to think Google just starting to become straight up evil.
Re: Why I’m done with Chrome
#137Yeap. I left Firefox because it was slow. Now, Google wants everything. Plus, Chrome hogs all of CPU on relaunch now.
With Quantum's Servo, I'm going to give FF another bite at the proverbial apple.
Re: Why I’m done with Chrome
#138I engaged with the folks pushing this feature internally when my own browser started enforcing omnidirectional login. One of my specific complaints was that it was an end-run around the user-provided sync passphrase, which nominally prevents Google from hoovering up my logged-out history. They didn't grok my privacy issue. Maybe they were deliberately misunderstanding me. Doesn't matter either way. Now I use Firefox.
Google's culture breeds internal arrogance and blindness to outside concerns. Arguing with Google people about issues with their products is approximately as effective as arguing with a brick wall.
No, a brick wall doesn't stare at you blankly. Nor does it argue back arrogantly and defy you that whatever Google wants is best.

> there’s just no good alternative Are you referring to the chromium space options, or the browser market as a whole? I’ve never left Firefox and still find it to be a pleasant browser, one with which I’ve never felt really left out barring a few annoying bugs from time to time that are typically short lived.
I love Firefox in theory, it's just that in practice I've never been able to stick with it. One thing or another always leaves me running back to Chrome. It's possible that it's just my own bias and familiarity, but I'm not principled enough to endure an inferior experience in any way. Plus working in chrome dev tools all day long, you really miss it when you want to pop something open and look under the hood real qu…
> Plus working in chrome dev tools all day long, you really miss it when you want to pop something open and look under the hood real quick, and I don't think Firefox is quite up to par there
Based on what? What did you try to do and couldn't? Or is your complaint - like the rest of your comment says - that you weren't immediately familiar with the UI, you didn't bother learning, and then decided it was the browser's fault?
How long did it take originally for you to learn the Chrome tools and how long have you given Firefox?
Re: Why I’m done with Chrome
#140Firefox is a truly fantastic browser now. I've been using it again for about 2 years and haven't regretted it at all. There have been a couple of weird feature hiccups but generally Mozilla seems to get things right.
I try to change this week but I'm unable to make zoom to work well (Chrome is perfect to me. Safari not work neither).
Exist a way to make it work? (ie: Maker a goblal zoom and a per-domain/page)
