Firefox can’t load HTML pages? Huh?
Edward Snowden
tell them to post their buttholes online then 😂 i cant with folks like this.
Do you remember when it was commonly advised to use fake names and birthdays on online forms, and when “spyware” was a term?
My co-workers were having the “Nothing to hide” discussion yesterday. I didn’t even feel like arguing.
“Normies”? We don’t need more tribalism.
They genuinely do not care anymore. We lost, just like the cypherpunks lost.
“My prehistoric brain can only think in ‘binary’ and doesn’t understand that development of a successful threat model doesn’t (and often can’t) be perfect, but any incremental change to my behavior and online practices in a way to prevent sensitive information from being shared and potentially utilized by malicious actors is a plus.
Instead of thinking about all of that, I’m going to reduce the whole subject to a nice and neat logical fallacy of ‘online privacy is terrible nowadays, thus it doesn’t matter what I do’ “
Don’t post screenshots of text
I don’t think I’ve had an issue on Firefox other than some sites saying “unsupported browser,” which is really the site’s fault.
I found Firefox to be much slower than Chrome… 10 years ago. Now, not only is it just as fast, it’s a much better experience all around.
I mean, yeah, privacy isn’t really a thing in our digital surveillance age. Doesn’t mean I’m not gonna make it as hard as possible for them. Make em work for it.
“chrome was hogging up my ram” is the dumbest part of all of this lmao, this person’s decisionmaking is completely driven by placebo and it’s hilarious
It’s something they saw in a meme once and now they take it for fact.
If it wasnt beaten by this, it comes a very close 2nd: “Firefox is trash at loading HTML websites”.
You can tell that fucker spends their time gibbering techno waffle bollcoks to old people!
I use Edge on my work laptop because:
Brave, Vivaldi, Arc, Floorp and Zen have those
