Comment on Mozilla’s new service tries to wipe your data off the web
KLISHDFSDF@lemmy.ml 4 months agowhat Ubuntu and Firefox are up to together is kinda what Microsoft went to court over Internet Explorer for in the 90s.
Can you elaborate on the statement? I’m not connecting the dots.

Maybe it’s about firefox coming pre-installed in ubuntu, not sure either

No, they’re talking about how Ubuntu doesn’t let you uninstall Firefox, and constantly push ads for it down your throat, and how Ubuntu always opens web search results in Firefox regardless of your default browser, and how… Oh wait

So you don’t know how to uninstall Firefox on Ubuntu?
Where do these “Ubuntu ads” display in the operating system? Are you talking about the software browser? An application used to get software suggestions is suggesting software? Or something more nefarious?
To me, your post just says, “I haven’t used Linux much,” because I’ve never encountered any of these problems… but I’m always open to being wrong.

They’re being satirical.
They’re saying Ubuntu does those things then ending it with “oh wait… [they don’t! That’s what Microsoft does.]”

It was a joke I use fedora as my main os.

I also didn’t get they were joking, a /s would have been helpful

The worst part is the bug that overwrites “/” to the Firefox spell check directory… Gross.
