Browser Wars 2025: Same Sh*t, Different Icons

Oh for f*ck’s sake — it’s 2025 and apparently, we’re still talking about goddamn web browsers. According to TechCrunch (because of course they’re fanning this digital dumpster fire), everyone’s suddenly “over” Chrome bleeding your data and Safari acting like it’s the Apple Vatican’s sacred relic. So, now the browser wars are *heating up* again. Yeah, right — more like swapping one privacy vampire for another with less name recognition.

Here’s the rundown of the shiny new crap vying to replace your current shiny old crap:

• Arc — because apparently slapping pastel colors and “AI-enhanced tabs” on Chrome’s corpse makes it revolutionary.
• Brave — still yelling about privacy while slipping you crypto in your damn toolbar. Thanks, I always wanted to be an accidental investor.
• Vivaldi — the overachiever’s choice. The Swiss Army knife of browsers that no one actually uses because configuring five thousand settings is kind of a full-time job.
• Firefox — like that friend who peaked in high school but keeps showing up at reunions insisting they’ve “changed.” Bless their open-source hearts.
• Edge — Microsoft’s desperate attempt to be cool. It’s like your dad suddenly showing up in skinny jeans calling himself “edgy.”

Basically, TechCrunch says every damn company wants your “trust,” while quietly slurping your data smoothie in the background. Nothing new under the sun — just shinier bullshit with extra buzzwords like AI, privacy, and experience. Pro tip: use whatever doesn’t make you want to yeet your laptop through a wall. They’re all bastards anyway.

Once had a user call me at 2 a.m. because “the internet disappeared.” Turns out they closed their browser window. I told them to open another one. They asked, “how?” I told them to try turning their chair around counterclockwise. They never called again.
