As a leftist. None of the right-wing parties in America serve my economic policies or desires. I can vote with Democrats generally because of social policy. But the Biden administration has seriously far too low key still managed to have some major economic wins that he should run on. The American rescue plan, the NLRB ruling, etc. Why they refuse to talk about it I’ll never know.
They talk about them all the time, is just the news doesn’t like covering it. But you can look at the transcripts of the speeches it’s there.
Needs more pop tv talk show interviews.
This is a Forbes article that shows as coming from Google. Just worth mentioning.
No one should be using AMP. Giving Google complete control over a site visit like that is just creepy.
“Redirect AMP to HTML” is a great Firefox extension.
I use chrome
You should stop. I’m also a fan of Firefox like the above poster. I see no meaningful difference except a pronounced reduction in evil.
Besides Firefox is slow af in Android
If a Firefox extension for it exists, I can almost guarantee that either a) there’s a Chrome addon or b) Chrome doesn’t let you do that thing.
There is, for now. Who knows how long Google will let it live, though.
I very much recommend against that (though I think everyone’s downvotes are a bit much).
If privacy isn’t your thing, consider performance; Firefox’s memory usage is vastly superior to Chrome’s, and its speed improvements are just too great to ignore. If you don’t care about either of those things, how about features: picture-in-picture on Firefox works better than on Chrome, on-device translation is faster than anything Google can dish out, and the developer features are industry-leading. If none of those are a big deal for you, think about platform purpose: Chrome is unilaterally making decisions about their browser that are causing downstream effects for every user (like the recent spyware-as-a-service “Privacy Sandbox,” or the upcoming extension-crippling Manifest v3 updates) because you are not their customer. You are their product. And if none of those things move the needle, you should be aware that the aforementioned forced switch to Manifest v3 this summer will essentially break ad-blocking extensions across the board.
If you’re concerned about migration, you should know that the migration experience is currently a cake walk. It takes two clicks to migrate everything from Chrome to Firefox. In a very real way, considering all the time I used to spend waiting for Chrome’s bloated carcass to finish rendering something, or all the time I used to spend clicking “x” on all the newsletter, cookie, and login popups, it actually would’ve taken me longer not to switch.
If you’re concerned about user experience post-switch, you should know that there are currently an absolutely minuscule number of sites that render differently from Chrome to Firefox, and even fewer that refuse to work on Firefox (almost all of which can be accessed using a user-agent switcher with no problems). Feature parity is almost literally one-to-one; the only major feature I can think of that exists in Chrome but not in Firefox is tab groups, and the developers are working on those. And if you so desire, you can even do a few minor configuration tweaks to make Firefox look exactly like Chrome, too.
Now, if you’re absolutely dead-set on sticking with Chromium for some bizarre reason, you might consider an alternative fork of Chromium; Brave, ungoogled, Opera, and Vivaldi are all Chromium-based browsers which will run all the same plugins you already have without being directly under the control of Google.
If you go that route, or if you’re still completely undeterred from Chrome, there’s a version of the AMP to HTML plugin for Chrome, too. At least for now, until Google decides to kill that, too.
What about android? Firefox performance is absolutely horrible, used fennec for years
Firefox has been my primary browser on my Pixel 2, Pixel 6, and Pixel 7 for nearly five years now. It consistently performs at least as well as Chrome. Yes, it used to have horrible performance, but that hasn’t been true in a very long time.
It consistently performs at least as well as Chrome.
That’s just false… tested on pixel 6 pro and pixel 8 pro
More to the point, this is Steve Forbes’ right-wing propaganda magazine’s spin on actual reporting from the New York Times.

Thanks Sherlock
He could get a ton of votes if he loudly stated he isn’t going to fund the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
It’s great to see everyone concerned about Palestine recently. Wish it had been this relevant the last decade plus when Israel was steadily slaughtering far more. Just not in the news every day.
Of course it’s also a little odd how so many seem focused on a pyrrhic victory against Biden. Biden wasn’t in charge for the last 15+ years. It’s also telling that neither the House or Senate is doing anything about it. Almost like it isn’t a Biden problem. And that whether he wins or loses it won’t change anything for the better. We should have cut Israel off 60 years ago. So it’s kind weird to see all the obsessing about him personally. Well, not really weird when you understand how many foreign influence operations there are going on right now. Eager not to actually help anyone. But just to see a country fail.
I will say this though. Biden has no one but himself to blame for giving so many disingenuous people such a prime opening to attack him on. It was a massive unforced error on his part. Where he got nothing in return good or bad. But that’s what happens when you deal with brutal ethanationalist like netanyahu.
Very well said. I assume these folks are either completely naive, with no foot in reality on how politics works, or willing/paid/inadvertent shills. Anyone who blasts Biden on his response to Palestine, and with the same neurons in their head thinks that Trump would be any better is just delusional or down right disingenuous.
it’s also a little odd how so many seem focused on (…) Biden
That’s because he has the bad fortune on being the president at the time where significant parts of the country (but hardly any of the rich fossils in Congress) are finally having their eyes opened to the horrors perpetrated by the Israeli government for the last 75 years and demanding that the US stop supporting it.
And also because he’s refusing to do so because he’s so much of an AIPAC lickspittle he once bragged about going to more of their events than anyone else in Washington without a hint of self depreciation.
Tl;Dr: Because he’s unlucky but also complicit.
No doubt. But I still don’t understand how this gets rationalized to be a Biden problem. This is a problem with our legislature. They’ve increasingly given more and more of their power to the executive branch over the years. They could stop this in a heartbeat. But they don’t. Because as you’ve said, they’re all complicit.
However, ironically the only party with any sizable group in it seeking to fix this would be the Democrats. And yet people are looking to hamper those very same Democrats by specifically targeting a guy who’s not really that much worse than any of the others. To make some sort of misguided example?
He’s the one giving weapons to Israel.
Wish it had been this relevant the last decade plus when Israel was steadily slaughtering far more.
They didn’t slaughter far more in the last decade, and they’re doing all this slaughtering at a much faster pace with much more openly genocidal intentions. There’s a very easy and direct reason they’re getting a lot more attention right now that doesn’t involve your whining about unfair attention to the guy who is personally going around Congress during the genocide to give them more tank ammunition to fire into Palestinian buildings.
But it doesn’t really seem like you care about getting more support for Palestinians rather than blunting harm to the man who’s actively harming them.
You mean Netanyahu right
81 years vs 77 years.
ugh
What are the actuarial odds of both of them dying before the election. Probably not high, but also not inconceivably low either…
Inconceivable no, nearly inconceivable yes. Given their probability of death is 7.2% and 4.9% in the next year. There is only a .35% chance of them both dying, though a 11.7% chance of one of them dying in the next year.
Biden Reportedly Plans To Use… Abortion
Is he… is he gonna abort Trump?
Please?
A 924 month abortion seems to be within the realm of what republicans already think is happening, so why not?
Taylor Swift should just run for President
No thanks
But no word on refusing genocide. This MF gonna lose.
You’re shocked that his platform is stuff that affects Americans huh
Blocking strikes affects Americans too. Is he gonna knock that off? The rail workers contract will be up for renewal during the next presidency.
I find all the Taylor Swift news orbit funny as hell. Pop icon changing the orbit of the world is precisely what pop icons are for. Hope the movie about her life is good.
