I think you nailed it in your second to last sentence. It's not often I'm back in the Windows world, but when I am it feels like going back to the early 2000s.

I think you nailed it in your second to last sentence.
It's not often I'm back in the Windows world, but when I am it feels like going back to the early 2000s.. ending up on very skeevy-looking sites trying to hunt the "Download" button that isn't a banner ad. Anything that can take that away is worth it.
- jjeaff 9y agoAn add blocker will take away the banner ads part at least.
- petercooper 9y agoSure, but it's surprising how much Windows software still leans on "file download sites" that do the whole "your file will download in X seconds or click here" nonsense. It's sometimes hard to tell if it's the real/official download unless you backtrack. Very weird compared to Mac software where usually a .dmg is downloaded straight from the creator's own site.
