Heh you sound like Richard Stallman, it's rumored he also doesn't use a browser.
As an aside, I've seen mirrors of Stack Overflow pop up when I use DuckDuckGo to search. Google seems to filter these out.
- 1vuio0pswjnm7 6y agoFrom what I have read of his philosophies I can imagine the reasons Stallman might not use a browser -- and I think that is an oft-repeated, old, unsubstantiated rumour. I would be he uses one. The reasons I prefer the command line to an over-sized, slow, graphical program are different. I was introduced to computers in the VAX era, not the Javascript era. Curious if those SO mirrors did not show cruft like "Hot Network Questions" on every page, would you use them instead of relying on an ad blocker.
