I’d hope this would lead to a mass-migration to Firefox…

Normal people don’t care about ads. Every time I tell someone I hate ads they look at me like an alien.

“What, you don’t have patients?” No, I just respect my time more than that. I’m going to waste it on my terms.

I think you mean patience. Patients refer to people under the care of a doctor.

I use Firefox, but it doesn’t work everywhere. Some financial sites, and Ticketmaster won’t let you use Firefox. It’s bullshit, but that’s the way it is.

I ordered tickets through Ticketmaster on Firefox recently. Don’t know if that’s a recent change, but it worked fine for me.

It has never worked for me through Firefox mobile. I haven’t tried on the desktop, but maybe it works there. Every time a friend sends me baseball tickets I have to copy the link and paste it into chrome to get them.

Every such case is another reason to use Firefox.

Fuck them.

I’m not sure I understand what you’re saying. You can’t just say “fuck off” if your bank requires another browser, or if you want to go to an event and the only place to get tickets is Ticketmaster. It’s not right, but you have to use a browser that works.

I’ve already gone there. I can’t browse without an ad blocker.

It won’t. People are too used to using what they’re already using.

I wonder if people refuse to switch cars because the other model/brand is “totally different” than what they drive… Like, it has a steering wheel, gas pedal, brake pedal in the regular location, wtf else do you need?? A browser is a browser is a browser to me. I don’t get it.

Yes, most people do refuse to switch cars. They will drive and repair their current one until it breaks, although it is for economic reasons. Similarly, people won’t bother switching banks even if you pay them; most banks in the US offer $200-300 signing bonuses. You’ll also see that people don’t switch jobs even if they would get a 5-10% pay rise doing the same tasks. People won’t go to different grocery stores even if they’re a similar distance away and the other store offers better selection or prices. Hell, people won’t even bother switching toothpaste brands.

People used to be used to using internet explorer and Netscape navigator. Times change.
