This is so much better because of the Geordi template.
I feel like we’re regressing back to the Netscape Navigator/Internet Explorer browser war days, when browsers were openly and intentionally breaking functionality on competing sites.
I only use my programming for good. For instance Bat_Count.exe lets the user enter a number and then the Count from sesame street will count to this number and say “Ah ah ah!” at the end.
This seems like a pretty dumb thing to do to try to wipe out a browser with 2% marketshare.
Obviously there a people in charge now who will never understand the Streisand effect. They could have kept it quiet and just… allow… the technical adept users to do their thing. Now, they are the laughing stock and get unwanted attention. Also, from my layman understanding, this shit won’t fly in the EU at all.
Or, to say it differently: This is the best thing to happen to Mozilla in quite a long time and I’m a fan.
As long as working around it is as easy as it is nowadays, I just think it’s funny.
