For those who aren’t familiar with the term, it means believing something that probably shouldn’t be believed, or being influenced to believe something that’s not necessarily in your best interests.

I used to be a bit of a Microsoft shill, after the first known knowledge of “Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.”
I saw them as an underdog in topics like the phone market, gaming, and a few other subjects, and wanted the competitors to try a bit harder instead of controlling market dominance. I’m still sad MS lost out with their HTML5 engine and went to WebKit - even if I root Firefox, having more competitors against WebKit is a good thing.
What shifted me over was first, them firing the team that made Hi-Fi Rush, Xbox’s ONLY claim to GOTY, and then learning how much they lick Netanyahu’s boots. My PC runs Linux now.
(WebKit is Safari, which is related; but you’re thinking of Chromium/Blink)
Yes, but the inverse is also true. Chromium derives from Webkit, and the two were maintained in close proximity for a while.
From ordinary routes, Gecko, MSIE, and Webkit are the true “origins” of the web. Even if many considered it the worse one, losing MSIE, especially after its devs had given it a big boost in standards compliance, was a blow to shared standards.
OK but Chromium browsers are no longer WebKit. They’ve diverged pretty far. And the root there was khtml.
Agree on more options being good. We also lost Presto (Opera) too.
