"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Certain websites are utter garbage if you don't use chrome. I work from time to time with the American Bureau of Shipping and even with a user agent switcher, firefox outright doesn't load. I already don't like ABS but this makes them even more irritating to deal with.
This is all part of Google's long winded plan of destroying open browsing standards.
For those sites, I just close them and move on and use another. I do that with any site that is total shit or loaded with garbage fly out menus and paywalls and the like. See ya.
If it's a shop: idc, if they refuse to work with other browsers they clearly don't want my money.
If it's some form of authority: I have zero issues with escalating the problem by demanding they give me a paper version of whatever instead. I'm not living in the US, so I'm (still) able to pull this.
if you really need to use the site, chromium-based foss browsers like ungoogled chromium exist so you can avoid google chrome.
