The fake dialogue won't fool us...

@Octane What do you mean fake? This is performance art!

Ok you two, or however many personalities you have, please be nice. Don't use profanity in your posts, and stop the turf war.

@SansaStark Wow you're really dedicated to this role!

...and the oscar for "Most Dedicated Scottish Performance" goes to.... @SansaStark!

Watching The Twilight Zone (1959)
This series was really ahead of its time.

@Enigminator I don't think I've found 600 channels which I dislike....I'm impressed!
But I'll try that out so thanks

@Yosheel It just doesn't work, I think it's because he's mainly a Nintendo channel so that must assume that I'm interested...despite telling them I'm not multiple times.

@ThanosReXXX I've actually never used FireFox, sorry!
When I was really young I used to think it was called the "Mozzarella Fur Fox", and I think that's made me think that it's ridiculous even though that would make no sense to anyone that isn't me. Having mozzarella for fur would be weird, or maybe delicious?

I feel like the previous page was an episode of the Twilight Zone. But yeah @Vinny, that show is amazing. My faves are All the Time in the World (title?) and Obsolete Man. Some get downright twisted.

@Kimyonaakuma Don't know what the weather is like in your region, but over here right now, Mozarella for fur would probably just be really sticky and disgusting...

And no need to apologize for not using Firefox, although I would strongly recommend it to anyone, seeing as it's simply the best and most secure browser there is, not to mention the most user-friendly.

It's the very reason why the Tor browser, used worldwide by all kinds of shady types, journalists and dissidents to be able to communicate without being tracked/followed, or recognized, is based upon the Firefox core.

But having said that, the add-on is also available for Chrome, which I already suspected, and which is also why
I suggested that if you wanted to try this add-on out, you could Google it, but guess what: I already found it for you...

I do hope you're using Chrome, though, because after Firefox, Chrome is the only reasonable alternative, even though it's less secure. But it's still better than Internet Explorer or it's offspring. Don't use anything from Microsoft...

"Please, PLEASE, I beg you, please give Edge a chance!"

-Windows 10 whenever it notices you're using another browser.

@Yosheel Haha, yeah, indeed...

It's like the shady wristwatch salesman that walks up to you in the park and opens his trenchcoat

@ReaderRagfish Just ignore that message, install any browser you want, and in the options of your browser of preference, set it to "my default browser". That'll teach Windows to mess with consumer's free will...

And whenever I press F1 by accident the computer decides to take it's sweet time to open an Edge window. More than a help button, it's an Edge shortcut.

@ReaderRagfish Yeah, it's kinda their default MO, much like with uninstalling things, making "no" the default highlighted choice, and then, even if you select "yes", they STILL ask you yet another time if you're REALLY sure you want to proceed...

I honestly never liked Windows, coming off of the super-user friendly Commodore Amiga OS, many years back, so it really took me quite a bit of getting used to, but seeing as I also had to use it at work eventually, I hardly had any choice in the matter...

@ThanosReXXX It's been raining here for a week or two so it would be a little wet, which is probably better than melting fur? I don't think there is a good option when you have cheese for fur
And I use Chrome, so thanks for finding the add-on for me. I've spent most of my life using it so it's what I'm used to, but my Uncle talks about FireFox like Priests talk about Jesus and burning bushes and all of those Bible things I might change browser one day...just never to Edge! I only use it because some 4K videos play better on Edge compared to Chrome, but I also just need a new computer 😭

“Psst! Hey you! Want some opens coat internet to explore? It’s so edgy right now”

Also, I found the hidden zippers for my couch cushions so I can get some polyfill this week and work my magic. After I replace a shower pipe.

@ReaderRagfish Oh, don't get me wrong: I'm not sitting here, behind my keyboard, bemoaning every letter I have to type on a Windows-based computer, but it was of course kinda forced onto us, and most of us didn't really have any choice in the matter.

Over here in schools and in most office jobs, it's all Windows. Only designers, graphical professions and some other industries use Mac computers. Will probably be the same worldwide.

Never used Linux or any other Unix offspring. That was always just WAY too geek for me...
And I'm just a user, not much of a programmer, although I do always build my own PC's and know how to tweak performance both hardware and software-wise, but that is as far as my OS and/or other program knowledge goes. So, I guess I'm an above average user, but by no means a wiz kid.

@Kimyonaakuma If you think that 4K videos play better on Edge than on Chrome, you should try Firefox...
Your uncle is definitely right, though...
But seriously: I'd say give it a go some day. Don't even have to make it your default browser.

I actually do use Chrome as well, but as my secondary browser, just in case. Back in the day, I used Internet Explorer and Firefox, and now I've swapped out Internet Explorer for Chrome, as my second-best browser...

I tried Linux Ubuntu once. Then I remembered why the Universal Plug n Play was a godsend. I was able to get IT to give my department Chrome last year, and it was great. State websites are awful under IE

I actually used to play Sonic Genesis (GBA) back when I was 12. I even beat it.
I didn't see a lot of flaws with that one back then, except for the awful sound quality and soul crushing slowdown.

I also used to play Shadow the Hedgehog back then, so yeah...
