They're not hacktivists, they're just assholes.

I think there’s kind of a 3rd choice, WebKit.

That's where Chromium came from originally, so not really 3rd.

And what else should be recommended?

The choice is basically between Firefox or skinned Chromium.

Do you really want to experience first-hand just why Internet Explorer was this hated?
Here's a hint: de facto monopoly on browser market that allowed them to control the web standards back then and their ideas were not good.

it has become a sinking ship and I’m eager to see who picks up the shards and runs with it.

I don't think you have any idea how much work it takes to create a new browser.

Much better than not reporting and wondering why the issues never get fixed.

Sure you can. wink wink 🏴‍☠️

I got the disc version for used games too, but the sad truth is that where I live there isn't really a market for used games.

Or, well, there is, but the prices on used discs are often barely below retail price, if you can even find a copy.

It's not like physical media makes any difference anyway these days.

Actual disk often gets just a glorified installer, and even if it includes the entire game you're likely to have to activate it online anyway.

The "own your games" ship has sailed long ago, unless you only buy no-DRM and your own backups.

One of the reasons being Nvidia forcing unethical vendor lock in through their licensing.

Well, "not to be confused", but the same page says AAVE is just a dialect of AAE, so mostly not much of a difference, I think.

For anyone that, like me, was confused what the hell is this language: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_English

Seems to be proper name for the kind of language a stereotypical black character in a movie would use.
Can't say about real world, since I don't live in the USA.

You know what else is unsafe? Letting Windows force the auto-update and break your bootloader (and that's just their latest fuck-up).

I'd mention that if they allowed me to even access the front page from my country. :)
