Careful what you wish for, if Firefox dies now (before alternatives are viable) then Google owns the web and no new browser engines will be able to even get a sniff of a foot in the door!

That’s been the case for a long time, this xkcd is at least a decade old!

Oh yeah I do remember that one

I foolishly did that right away so I must have never seen the extra nagging

Was 10 actually alright early on in its life, or was I just unaware? I don’t remember any of the advertising and spyware crap back when I first upgraded from 7.

I think this counts for !pbsod@lemmy.ohaa.xyz

!linuxinthewild@lemmy.world is the best way to link it, FYI
