I remember reading somewhere, that the predominant car colours of a certain time are associated or correlated to the economic outlook of the day. Maybe that's what's at play here?

It's actually quite similar for most in the Philippines. Yeah, there are some smaller cliques or sub-groups where this is frowned upon, but it is mostly also a "badge of honour".

Agree. Even if not a web developer, one can use different browsers for different purposes at the same time.
Re:Google is killing one of Chrome's biggest ad blockers

Yeah, the built-in blocker in Brave does, too.
Re:Google is killing one of Chrome's biggest ad blockers
on Monday August 12, 2024 @02:13AM (#41221538)
One does not choose web browsers on adblocking capabilities alone. Some may need Chromium features that FF do not have, so it’s nice to have options, even if one specific feature (i.e., adblock) is just 80-90% as good as the other.
Re:Google is killing one of Chrome's biggest ad blockers
on Monday August 12, 2024 @01:23AM (#41221343)
Yes, but they modify it to build adblock in, so one does not need to install a separate plugin.
