“Do you want to import your settings from your previous browser?”
“Do you want to make Chrome your default browser?”
“Are you sure?”
FUCK OFF, I’M ONLY USING THIS STUPID PROGRAM BECAUSE MY ASSHOLE UTILITY COMPANY’S WEBSITE DOESN’T WORK WITH FIREFOX
Try user agent switcher. More often than not, websites work just fine with firefox but refuse to load when the browser identifies as not-fascist-google-trash.
Had to do that to do my fucking MATH HOMEWORK because Pearson “doesn’t work with Linux”. Switched my user agent to windows and all of a sudden it works just fine
I wish Microsoft and Google homies would just get beamed into a parallel universe to ruin with their bullshit…
They already did. We are the other universe.
I wish Mozilla would use some of their millions to bring a class action lawsuit against sites that pointlessly lock people out just because they’re not using Chrome/Safari/Edge.
You and me both, but as long as we allow accumulation of capital, that’s not gonna happen, I’m afraid.
Report the error to the company and to Mozilla.
That’s basically never an error, but malice. But I admire your naivity :)
Oh, I agree with you. But the more we publicize this, the more pressure we can apply to site devs to support multiple browsers.
I doubt it’s malice as often as a cost saving measure presented in a scummy/lazy way.
The simple fact is that all browsers load pages differently.
If you want to minimise cost, you’ll optimise the site to the most popular browsers.
Firefox, unfortunately, is at the very bottom of the popular browser list.There’s absolutely nothing else that most sites gain by promoting Google.
Except, as of recent, a lower likelihood of user having an ad blocker.In the case of Pearson, malice is a safe assumption.

~$ chromeor click the chrome icon in your app menu. You’re welcome.Reminder that Edge for Linux exists.
Posting to Linux forum: “How do I enable Copilot in Word using WINE on Linux?”
A Linux user wouldn’t use chrome.
A windows user downloading a random executable and unchecking all of the boxes that install malware (it is easier than pressing one “Install” button in an app store):
I switched my main to linux about a year ago and install everything through terminal at this point.
I had to download something on a windows system once recently and i was not prepared with how backwards this entire process felt.
I cant understand how i had stuck with such bullshit for so long.
These days if I can’t install it with winget I’m not installing it
Scoop/Chocolatey/WinGet. In that order.

Chrome only has 2 buttons
And, as we all know, those two buttons are…
- Eat all the ram
- Freeze the whole computer
