Honest question - why do people use Chrome? It’s from an arguably as-evil company as Facebook. Alternatives exist. What’s the draw?
This blog post is so watered down and manages to digress at every possible point that it is almost impossible to read. The only useful part of the text are the URLs. Also, this: > A vulnerability, or vuln for short, is a bug that makes software go wrong in a way that reduces computer security. Does anyone actually use this abbreviation?
You won't see me using it in an email or other long form writing though.
clicks Help->About Google Chrome Updates are disabled by your administrator. welp.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
How do you know if someone uses Brave? ... They'll tell you!
Actually, you can tell because of the referrer http headers brave injects for websites that pay brave

In my industry, it is a very secure solution (despite the vulnerability disclosed here), so it gets chosen for that reason.
I personally prefer Vivaldi (which uses Chromium), but I do choose Chrome over Firefox. I'm not sure if it's the UI or what, but it has never really stuck for me. The thing that would get me to move away from Chrome is if they broke the API for ad blockers.

I do in team chat. It's obvious enough in context, as in "hey can you deploy, I just patched this urgent vuln: [url to ticket]" You won't see me using it in an email or other long form writing though.

More common in plural (vulns). However, it sounds oddly vulgar in my ears.
