        It was cool in 2010 when I was like 14 and had an iPod touch but didn’t have wireless Internet access at home because my parents didn’t understand the concept of a router and thought they would have to pay for it, plus christian concern over porn and corruption on the net. So I could go to like McDonalds or whatever, download all of these game review articles, web novels, and whatever else I was into at the time so that when I got back home I could still interact with the web.

        Nowadays, yeah I don’t really get the point. Everyone’s permanently plugged in so a regular bookmark is fine. Also in case anyone was concerned, my buddy eventually gave me his old router and I secretly set up WiFi in my house so I was good for the rest of the time I lived at home 👍

          Strict parents create sneaky teens. My mom’s way of grounding me from the computer was taking away my keyboard. She figured that without a keyboard, I couldn’t use it. I had a spare keyboard buried under my bed. I also quickly figured out how to use Windows’ accessibility options in case I was ever truly without a keyboard or mouse.

    Point out something that could be improved

    Be told to just download an extension to fix the issue

    Understand why regular people don’t use Firefox

      Chrome simps unite!

      People don’t use Firefox because of trends, not because it’s somehow inferior. Yeah, no one gives a shit about your extremely weird tab preferences

        We don’t use it on the computer we share because profiles work like crap, when I posted about it there were a couple of people saying “Yep, Chrome’s implementation is much better” and a lot of people saying “Just use this extremely convoluted way of half fixing the issue you have with it”

          You think the profile feature is a popular reason to use chrome? I have been using the Internet since mid 90s and I never once used it on any browser until last year. No issues with it on FF btw

            It’s weird for me that an application should have profiles for different user, shouldn’t we use profiles on OS side, it’s also less problematic in my mind
