i find it annoying that whenever there is a new browser extension on HN, i ask for a "firefox version" to which the response is almost always kneejerk "eww no" or something to that end.

The same people bemoaning the war on general purpose computing or the surveillance state happily using Chrome has always been a truly bizarre disconnect I’ve never understood.
