Hey now, they'll build native features if it's something no one wants (Pocket).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I legitimately do not get pocket. It's just rebranded bookmarks

But haven't you ever wanted the opportunity to pay for bookmarks? Now you can!

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

I can't live without dash-to-dock extension.

Same here. I like that Pop!_OS makes it default.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 6 months ago

Pop!_OS will soon transition away from GNOME to their own desktop environment called Cosmic, because they realized that GNOME sucks.

Yeah at least firefox without extensions is good :P

Without uBlock Origin? Not really. Not Firefox's fault, the internet just transformed into a massive ad-infested shithole, but still, it's unusable without an adblocker.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What's wrong with using extensions? Are you sad that your phone doesn't have features and you need to use the app store?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Nah. That's why I use an android. Extensions go burrr on android firefox.
