Why do companies love chrome so much?

Reply in thread

That's why I started setting Firefox as the default browser on my family's phones. They were too annoyed by ads and almost got scammed once. With Firefox and uBlock Origin it's like magic for them. Plus they don't visit any non-mainstream websites so they'll never encounter such a screen.

A small step to a better web-browsing experience for all of us.

Let us in we miss you

Tbh we are cave adapted organisms to a point. Remember when you got a fever or a cold, and all you wanted to do was curl up in a corner of the room with your blanket all over you? That is inherently the human brain trying to go into a "cave", a more secluded area with less things that don't overwhelm it. We've evolved to go into "return to cave" mode when we feel sick.

How to deal with addict parents?

Reply in thread

When I left home at 19, things opened up for me a lot more than I expected. But I still regret the 8 years that I was just "hanging in there" because the alternative was just so much better. I see where you are coming from, but unless the parents are only somewhat bad parents that otherwise take care of you, this is bad advice.

It still does it. The only thing is that the awareness of this feature was spread in a way to make it sound like it was just stealing your internet for nothing (which looking at it one way, it was) so most people just turned it off.

I learnt quite a lot, but I guess the most important things I've learnt is IT stuff. Since I had a computer, I used to mess with anything and everything. As a result I learnt things that people can pay thousands to a third party to do, when it sits right on their PC. One of my relatives is in the IT industry (senior manager for a unicorn company) and I once casually just showed him what I knew. Even he admitted I had some interesting stuff up my sleeve.
