I’ve been using Phoenix/Firebird/Firefox as my default browser since 2003. Never understood the appeal of Chrome.
I’ve been a Windows user since the 90s and only used Linux occasionally. But starting with Windows 10 this thing is becoming more and more difficult to manage. The unlimited amount of popups, changing settings randomly without asking, A/B testing on difficult computers or different accounts on the same Windows installation, some settings only appear after a while or opening/closing the software several times…
It’s so painful to deal with. I’ll probably switch completely to Linux soon when I have spare time.
