@supercalifragilistaphobic2146 Or what flash games are/were. I miss those days so much.

@tangentfox4677 It sure is, I'm running out of space.

@DZ477 And of other users too. Most people don't seem to care about being controlled as long as you lie to them and tell them you're not controlling them. Tell them it's to curb abuse, or for their safety and most will place their head firmly in the guillotine.

@koolkrafter5 Yes! Death match time! I vote for the original Unreal or UT, still some good servers running.

@drxstudio1473 Indeed, it's all about control. People don't seem to understand that money is only a means to an end for them, not their end goal. They could actually make more money by not pissing off potential customers and make unobtrusive ads that just sit there as a static image and link to their website, but then they couldn't control people.

@illdeletethismusic I miss it too. They had this awesome feature of forcing your own stylesheet on pages that gave me dark mode without a stupid plugin before any dark mode plugins even existed. I had so many more options then than I do now, even controlling how to highlight links, which I made bright-ish and both under and over lined but only when you hovered.

I always felt like Chromium based browsers were childish with an oversimplified UI. Still haven't seen one that dissuades me of that belief. There simply aren't enough configurability options with it.

@Systemhalodark I've been using it since it was called Mozilla, and later Phoenix. Never had stability issues with it, still don't. For a while it was slower than the competition, but now they're all the same speed. And Chromium based browsers have a weird bug for me where they don't want to scroll at a proper speed. I only use FireFox and Opera, and Opera only because I sometimes need to test things in a Chromium based browser and I have fond memories of it before they chunked their old engine in the trash.

@liberalsarecancer5749 And they've got it all. Remember the ad campaign on all of their various sites denigrating FireFox and telling people to just get Chrome? Yeah, it worked. Although, I keep thinking that we need to just wipe away all of the old technology the web is built on and start from scratch. Won't happen, but I'll keep dreaming.
