Like when your mum walks in and sees you masturbating to a blank MS word document.
Like when your boss walks in and sees staring at a generic spreadsheet with an Xbox controller in your hand.
GNOME allows scrolling through workspaces with the mouse, making it criminally based. No keyboard shortcut hand movements, plus quicker and better for multiple windows.
This kinda happened to me once when she noticed my browser doesn't save history. I then spent the rest of the evening showing her how to do that on her browser as well as going through all the other browser settings, some extensions and themes (she picked one with purple and pink flowers).
That's so sweet!
Ah yes, since there's nothing you can do on a computer except for browse the Internet.
these days people use the browser for everything, in the end the computer is just wrapping the browser, you could make an operating system that is just a browser... wait a minute...
Soylent Green is people and The Cloud is someone else’s computer!
Do it! Profit!!
Imagine being young enough that your parents know what browser history is 😬
Inb4 "stfu millennial" or something? 🤔
My parents thought MSN messenger would store all conversation logs even if I turned that feature off. They ended up paying somebody to scan the hard drive for something that didn't exist.
And then your mom checks the access logs on the router which stores all of your visits in plain text. And why? Because you forgot to use cue vpn ad
That's their own fault for skipping past all the YouTube sponsorship infomercials.
Plot twist: You used celular instead of wifi
I openly do all my browsing incognito, because otherwise I end up with so many tabs that Firefox just displays a ∞ for the number
The one thing I actually like about chrome is if you end up with over 99 tabs open on mobile it displays :D as the number.
I’ve reached the cap on safari tabs before 🥲
How many did you have?
Safari on mobile caps at 500, and I hit that limit.
I do this whenever I'm on someone else's computer, it means I can sign in to whatever and not have to worry about signing out later, super convenient
This.
Mom's just happy you didn't stumble upon her MILF stuff
I have a friend that had this happen to them. It was devastating to see their parents like that.
That's what they told you? 🤔
My mom would call home and if she got a busy signal so many times throughout the day we were busted. Dial up sucked ass.
Staring at a bunch of empty tissue boxes
Doesn't look like anything to me.
As a ln early teenager I thought my mother was kinda daft for not questioning why I was using so many tissues and wordless just replenished them.
Well, later in life I understand that she didn't neef to question where she already knew the answer.
I was playing the maze game on screensaver
"Mom this browser doesn't recorded a history to protect me from companies tracking me online."
back in my day we found a box of nudie mags in the forest like God intended!
Someone saves history?
On windows 98 before clearing Internet history was a thing I knew how to do, I would just click log off and login to Windows under another random username.
I made Firefox focus on my phone my default browser so everything opens directly on it. If I know I will need something later, I will select open in... and Firefox. that way I keep away the cluther of 200+ tabs opened at the same time
Hm, curious!
