Get out.
- neilparikh 8y agoTo be fair, Google did the same thing. When chrome was new, they had banners on google.com suggesting you “upgrade” to Chrome for a better experience. And the banners weren’t only shown on outdated/old browsers (say, IE); they were shown on Firefox too.
- ocdtrekkie 8y agoThey also show for Edge, of course. And don't go away no matter how many times you dismiss them. Firefox is currently my main browser, and there are only two things left on the Internet which truly annoy me. - "Upgrade to Chrome?" - "Subscribe to YouTube TV?" No matter how many times you say "No", they'll both come back. And you know that's not bad code, because YouTube literally said it was part of business plan to annoy people until they pay up. https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/21/17147800/youtube-streaming-service-lyor-cohen-ads-music-industry-spotify-free https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/21/17147800/youtube-streamin...
