It is too late to listen to reason. Many commenters have spent their Saturday morning pushing a narrative that appeals to emotion.

I just switched my browser. Bye bye Firefox.

  I'm curious, do you switch at every fuck up? Then it's only a matter of time until you come back to Firefox, or maybe you'll end up making your own web browser?
  - isoskeles 7y ago
    No, just this one because it took me more than 5 minutes to not find a working fix, and this was such a massive fuck-up that I don't feel like sticking around. I appreciate the condescension of both your comment and the person I initially replied to, but I honestly see your comments as saying, in more words, "Fuck the user." And that's fine, but why don't you just say it? Go ahead and type it, I want you to type what you really think about the users who are so dumb and fickle that they can't handle something so trivial as not being able to use their precious stupid add-ons like HTTPS Everywhere and uBlock.

      Hahahah look at all the Firefox fanboys coming out of the woodwork to try intellectual bullying because they're mad I admitted to uninstalling a web browser.

        Or maybe they take offence at your overall tone? You're clearly not interested in being constructive. This kind of toxicity is exactly why many of us have "uninstalled" Reddit and the like. Please refrain from bringing that toxicity to HN.

        “Many commenters have spent their Saturday morning pushing a narrative that appeals to emotion.” “Toxicity.” Goes both ways.

        Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments to Hacker News?

        > It is too late to listen to reason. Many commenters have spent their Saturday morning pushing a narrative that appeals to emotion. Your comment, my comment, that comment, none of them are substantive. Why isn't that comment removed yet?

        It's a matter of degree. Your comments went an order of magnitude further over the line.

Flag it again, for the F word. Flag the comment I responded to as well, for consistency. :)

      No, we’re not flagging you for your use of swear words; we’re flagging you for your lack of construction to the conversation. You clearly are not interested in having a conversation
      - isoskeles 7y ago
        Mmhmm. “Everyone who disagrees with me is an emotional idiot!” “Hey I just uninstalled Firefox.” “Flag him!” I await your apology.

  To what?
- Gene_Parmesan 7y ago
  Switch to what? Chrome? Because you don't like having to re-opt-in to studies? That would be ludicrous given Google's privacy track record. Opera? They're owned by a Chinese investment firm now. Edge? MS's whole OS is based on data collection.

    Keep guessing.

        CVE-2016-9179 was published about Lynx in November 2016. Lynx took more than 5 minutes to release an update, with the fix included [1] in 2.8.9dev.11 not reaching a production release until July 2018 — almost two years after the CVE was published. With a response time like that, I don't see how Lynx will satisfy their "5 minute fix" need any more than Firefox did.

        Instead of pretending you're perplexed about my desire for a "5 minute fix", you can go back to the comment that said everyone here who has a problem with the issue Firefox caused is crafting a "narrative that appeals to emotion." Read that, I don't know maybe ten times, and then read my comment which said I just switched my browser, no emotion involved. I'm a man of action, baby. You can deliberate over my thought process all day, wondering if I would pick this browser or that one, or maybe even if I felt bad that I violated my loyalty to Mozilla Firefox (blessed be thy name). But don't think too hard, I've already moved on to the next decision in my life.
