    Every time I poke my head out of my $FREE_OPERATING_SYSTEM I continue to be surprised and horrified at the level of abuse people are forced to endure just to use a computer.

    Like damn, y'all live like this?

      It's the same with browsers. For now I'm sharing a desk at work with someone who refuses to let me install ublock origin. How the fuck do people put up with half (or more) of the browser window being autoplay ads?

        Everytime I have to use the internet without ublock I'm just like "Why is the internet suddenly so annoying??!?!?!" it's so shitty i don't know how anyone puts up with it.

        can you

        • make a new profile

        • run a different browser

        • install it without telling them (hide the icon)

        Make a new profile from about:profiles and create a shortcut with target like this: "C:\Program Files\Firefox\firefox.exe" -new-instance -P "ProfileName"
