I just love how they try to trick you into paying for shipping even if they're like "Congratulations! Your order qualifies for free shipping!"

Nope, I don't like the sound either. I didn't like it on the model M on the IBM PS/2 either.

Remember when Canonical used to give away installation CDs to anyone who asked? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Came here to say this. ChatGPT is very good at coming up with convincing bullshit. Always do your own research.

Web devs never learn.

Chrome is the new IE.

The popular choice isn't always the best one.

Maybe the Linux version was ahead of Mac and Windows in 2008. It was already crap then. lol

Really? I always hated it. It was such a resource hog compared to Firefox, and that only got worse as Firefox improved.

My main Linux distro at the time, Fedora, wouldn't even ship Chromium because of how difficult and inefficient it was to package. It leaves a bunch of Google crap on Mac too.

Was it better on Windows or something? Because it's always been crap on Linux and Mac.

I do think they know these companies are invasive, but they don't fully understand the ramifications of it, nor do they care to.

Yeah, people knew enough to ditch IE for Firefox, but I think Google's marketing convinced everybody that Chrome was the best. Most people tell me they use Chrome because it's the fastest.

I actually never stopped using Firefox. I tried Chrome/Chromium on and off since it came out in 2008, but I never understood the appeal. Chrome looks more minimal, but it always ran like crap on Linux and Mac for me. Was it better on Windows or something? The constant memes about Chrome's RAM and CPU usage would lead me to believe it isn't.
