You’re free to whatever opinion you might have but it’s not a secret that Google used to change their search page to a more limited one if you were using Firefox.

Hence people created add-ons to change the User Agent to mimic Chrome when accessing Google.

I’m well aware of that. Browser and OS aren’t the same thing. Weird.

  I had to check if I was alone on this…I want. First hit on a quick Google:
  
  reddit.com/…/me_every_time_a_web_page_doesnt_work…
  
  So yeah, not alone… this is the hill I’m dying on😁

    I’ve been daily driving Linux for over 3 years and don’t remember ever seeing it. And as a web developer I know the only way that would happen is if a shitty business decision mandated it.

    So you are calling everyone out on this because you are a noobie.

    Gonna second you in this one. My Manjaro box is what I run to as a gold standard if one of my families windows machines using Chrome fails to load something. It’s consistent, reliable and fast. What I think is missing from this conversation is: wired or wifi. One of the reasons the Linux machine is the yardstick is that it’s not using wifi; never had a first page load fail.
    
    Slack on Linux however… Eesh. Never had an app so reluctant to launch.
