Bring popcorn, this is a developing story… 🍿(Happening rn on Threads)

@marialeal oooh snap

I suppose it's not inconceivable that the Firefox marketing team came up with that phrase independently, but it sure looks suspicious.

[berniethewordsmith@neopaquita.es]

@diazona @marialeal Having zero ounces of trust in Firefox lately so I'm inclined to think the plagiarism is real

@marialeal go go Vivaldi!

[lea@lea.pet]

@marialeal@social.vivaldi.net moooooom the annoying browser social media managers are fighting again

[0x4d6165@transfem.social]

@marialeal@social.vivaldi.net i didn't know people actually used threads

[asm@is.beeping.pet]

@lea @marialeal gotta love drama between the okay browser and insufferable closed source chromium slopware

[hearts@pharmacy.puppygirl.icu]

@lea @marialeal @asm vivaldi is especially bad because they brand themselves like an open source, privacy focused option, and then deliver nothing but a ui reskin and a disappointing builtin feed reader / mail client

[ariarhythmic@ohai.social]

@asm @lea @marialeal calling Firefox okay is factually incorrect

[can@haz.pink]

@diazona @marialeal I’m sure they asked ChatGPT to come up with a catch phrase and it picked Vivaldis (as pointed out in their response)

[woe2you@beige.party]

@asm @lea @marialeal The Chromium monopoly is easily as big a problem as forcing AI into everything.

[dfstarshine@icosahedron.website]

@marialeal Meh, let them fight. They both suck.

[asm@is.beeping.pet]

@ariarhythmic @lea @marialeal Firefox gets an okay cause you can make it good with a bunch of config tweaks. LibreWolf gets a good cause it does 90% of those config tweaks and more for you

[bituur_esztreym@pouet.chapril.org]

@marialeal fouyouyou..

[badolwen@toot.wales]

@marialeal I'm sorry I just find myself thinking Vivaldi don't know what the term "hot take"means when used ironically. That term is used ironically a lot these days and it seems a little embarrassing to me for them to respond all butthurt to a bit of marketing. It's like social media changes brands into children.

[benjaoming@social.data.coop]

@marialeal too bad Firefox/Mozilla isn't in the Fediverse

[elexia@catcatnya.com]

@makesubarugayagain @marialeal that's not Matt Damon...

[thesdev@social.vivaldi.net]

@benjaoming @marialeal there's @firefoxwebdevs

[dalias@hachyderm.io]

@berniethewordsmith @diazona @marialeal Likely via the automated plagiarism machine.
