    valid question, idk why would people downvote it

    broken websites on desktop are rare and not nearly enough to drive a browser change, but they usually fall into two categories:

    1. websites that “break” on purpose for no good reason when they detect it’s not chromium. Either avoid the site or change the user agent.

    2. websites that degrade some functionalities because they rely on newer features or on how things appear on chromium. They’re usually CSS breakages and do not affect browsing that much.

    Support for manifest v2 greatly outweighs these potential issues imo.

    I’ve hacked plenty of bash aliases, functions, and scripts using coreutils myself; but sometimes you need something a bit more robust when it comes to error handling, retrying, maintainability, and an actually distributed solution instead.

    xargs on its own might be more resilient than a distributed crawler, as one would expect, but if I’m tasked with building a distributed data processing pipeline I want more guarantees from the system as a whole, not only from its individual building blocks.

    The time and effort put into embedding these guarantees in hacked shell scripts running on a dozen machines might be better invested into building a more solid foundation instead.
