      I have found a lot of websites over the last few months acting up if I’m using Firefox.

      I have chrome for work and if I switch they work flawlessly. It’s small things like menus not expanding or elements not loading.

      There’s a push on unifying browsers.

      I’ve been Firefox and duckduckgo for years and it’s getting a bit annoying. Obviously the trade off is worth it I do not want the big tech products but finding good alternatives is getting hard.

      DDG has gone downhill in recent years.

          I couldn’t submit a support ticket for id.me (the IRS’ stupid commercial partner for Identity verification) when using Firefox, the submit button literally did not work. Worked fine when switching to edge (blegh).

    From the article: ‘So I went to install the same Windows update on a laptop, which actually resulted in it failing and me having to do a system restore. Once the system restore…’

    Who needs to continue reading the article before realizing the malware is Windows itself?

      So either Linux has effortless, painless updates that never break, or Linux is malware.

      Which one is it?

        The difference may be Windows forces to update, while i.e. Ubuntu has several older versions still working.
