I seriously thought that that headline was a euphemism for the current state of the world...

That’s quite easy for me because I’m Filipino! And coincidentally, I’m also residing in Germany. :D

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?

> people wear bending rules as a badge of honour

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".

> Web developers should have all major web browsers installed anyway.

Agree. Even if not a web developer, one can use different browsers for different purposes at the same time.

Yeah, the built-in blocker in Brave does, too.

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.
