 @3ddab33a I agree with the state of where we are with Chrome/Chromium. But I guess I’m just not willing to ignore the valid reasons of how we got here, because I watched it happen and I watched the alternatives continue to refuse to even try to compete, the same way it took years for anyone to actually try against IE beyond bitching and anti-trust lawsuits. And when they did compete (pour one out for Camino, which led to the project leads for both Safari and Chrome), IE fucking fell. 
 @e2d8748d @3ddab33a Camino feels like such a deep cut now. I miss that browser. I miss the hay day of Firefox. Can we just go back to Web 1.0? 
 @64155783 @3ddab33a such a deep cut and yet the best cut 
 @e2d8748d @3ddab33a Team Camino represent! 🫗 
 @c4691757 @3ddab33a @5b6a31d1 says they wore their Camino shirt two days ago and I’m jealous I do not have a Camino shirt. 
 @e2d8748d @c4691757 @5b6a31d1 Aww me too! I used to run Camino. 
 @3ddab33a @c4691757 @5b6a31d1 see we are all good web citizens 
 @c4691757 @e2d8748d @3ddab33a Camino dev here 
 @8f6ec3ca @c4691757 @3ddab33a ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 
 @e2d8748d @3ddab33a I miss the days of lightweight Camino running on a Power Mac G4 with OS X Panther 
 @f17df2c8 @3ddab33a man, to be in high school again (dating myself)! 
 @f17df2c8 this (was) the way 
 @e2d8748d @3ddab33a “We didn’t really compete and all we got was RustLang.” 
 @1e3f41c4 @3ddab33a lol. I mean. Fair. And yet also, “sigh” right? Like yay we got RustLang but idk, I kind of wanted a fucking web browser. 
 @e2d8748d @3ddab33a Yea. I thought it was good that Rust grew outside of Mozilla, but also Rust Management is a disaster. Everything has to be learned the hard way.
