I agree with the division you propose, but I don't think we've got the traffic here yet.

"Here mum, I've installed Firefox for you, it's better than Chrome in every way!"
"My knitting circle website doesn't work, I can't download patterns, it says I need Chrome"
Internet Explorer was effectively abandon-ware for a decade after Microsoft used their OS pseudo-monopoly to crush Netscape.

You won't let your kids use the portal at their school for submitting assignments?
Your government sites for renewing your drivers license or scheduling hard refuse pickup?
I can think of lots of reasons that will force me to have chrome installed if this goes ahead.

If you look at the instances page at beehaw, lemmy.world is still listed as blocked:
I could cross post obviously political stuff there.
My intention is to concentrate on putting content here to build up it's community, before splitting out into niches.
Hence why I'm g[l]ad my motorbike doesn't count.
I guess I left my meaning too open to interpretation.

I love the top gear reference, but surely May would have been the obvious choice, Hammond is just asking for a crash!
