People in my school launching Internet Explorer, cause Firefox takes to long to open/doesn't work fine - instead of clicking the shiny little chrome icon on their desktops...

FF slow? Clearly they haven't tried quantum.

Or they're abusing the poor fox.. :/

It's time to take a stand now!!

@lotd they got outdated browsers, Chrome and FF. - and poor hardware.. But chrome runs smoothly

@BambuSource :/

Should release some worm, forcing them to update :D

In my experience I could easily but painfully update Firefox to Quantum on every school computer I used, but indeed it pisses me off that they can't get that straight... Windows makes it pretty much impossible to store applications on a network so no surprise that half the computers don't have the necessary apps installed 🙄😑😭

It is Firefox Extended Support Edition?

@NotFound idk, just some oldish ff

"just use Chrome!"
"No."
"*Points gun at head* fucking use Chrome"
"Nah then I'd rather have you shoot me"

@linuxxx With what is going on with Mozilla I guess I'll have to do that with FF too now.

Guess it's w3m time. Oh wait that has connections to w3c.

Please give me reccomendations on what browser to use that is open source and not from "we totally aren't doing shady stuff inc."?

@rootshell I'm personally still staying with Firefox and can't give you many recommendations since I'm still behind Mozilla. Maybe look at icecat or Waterfox?

Yeah they fucked up badly but at least they're acknowledging their mistake and even open sourced everything relating to it. I'm not just going to stop trusting one organization for one fuckup when they've do so much for Internet freedom and the open source community.

@linuxxx yeah man, I’m with you. I was upset at first with Mozilla for having yet another issue, but then I stepped back and took a deep breath... why are people so unforgiving and ungrateful of OSS projects? So a problem happens, it sucks... but people notice almost immediately and fix it! That was the promise of OSS and it’s working like a well oiled machine. The promise was never that OSS results in perfect code and perfectly removes all human error and morality issues... no the promise is just transparency and that it makes these problems easy to deal with... mission accomplished. Come on people stop bashing an OSS project because it’s delivering on the promise of transparency and openness. This, opposed to the closed paradigm where you find out later, sometimes years later that Facebook was selling your data and building AIs or MS left zero days unpatched that conveniently the NSA had them in their pocket... OSS can have the same human flaws, but they are seen and fixed.

@agaskins Don't get me wrong I love FOSS but it's starting to get ridonculous.
