Since greedy corporations are making websites that exclusively make browsing only on chrome easier, would it be ethical to make lemmy perform better only for firefox/other web browsers to fight them?

Is it even possible or ethical to do it?

[frog_brawler@lemmy.world]

It would.

This would likely only hurt the end user. Many use chromium-based browsers, so you're just driving those away.

You can detect Firefox, so you can do a superficial block in JS, but lemmy is such a simple site that you'd find it hard to find areas where there's actual differences between the browsers, those usually only come from complex pages like video calling

What a terrible idea. You don’t fight bad behavior with more bad behavior. Lead by example. The open internet should be open to all. Majority of the people using Chrome aren’t the ones making these decisions.
