I love how we've just looped back around to having network television again, truly the peak of innovation

        Been using Firefox since 2007. Never went back to IE or shudders Chrome. Hell, I even installed Firefox on all the computers I got my fingers on at work as a computer technician - the computers we were meant to resell, were fixing for clients and even the work computers. And with uBlock installed too.

      Acestream used to be pretty good for live sports but that shit freaks me out so I stopped using it

        What freaks you out about it? I have no idea what that is and am curious as an old person.

          It wanted to start up by itself on startup and start seeding shit whenever which doesn't sit right with me. You can of course easily disable this behavior from your OS but the fact that it does this by default seems sketchy. It's also closed source.

            Discord freaks me out the same way. I use it, mostly because my friends do and insist I do the same, but I hate how invasive it is, how it keeps making itself known when I'm playing whatever game, how it makes obnoxious "helpful" suggestions for how to be more bazinga, and how it starts itself unprompted and takes resources by default and that I have to shut the damn thing off through the task manager when I'm not using it.

              I don't use discord for similar reasons, but at least discord isn't using your bandwidth to download/upload potentially gigs of unknown stuff without even asking
