Yeah I always think it's strange that because you have made the deliberate choice to not upgrade your browser in years, ignore all of the "feature not supported on your browser" messages, ignoring security updates, etc. that I should be focusing on your experience, instead for the 98% of people who do do those things.
Isn't it a deliberate choice to have that experience?
Unless you're in an industry that requires not upgrading, backward compatibility is great, up until a point.
- superkuh 3y agoIn my case the text to speech software I use to interact with my computer doesn't exist in the same form in modern operating systems. The modern installable version and voices are much worse. So I stick to an old OS that supports my text to speech. But this means my glibc is also an old version. And this OS was released before docker existed in repos (and has no docker support). So I'm using an older brower with JS completely disabled. It displays HTML, text, images, etc pretty well. It's just the for-profit sites that used to cause problems. But now everyone is cargo culting the for-profit stacks, devs are expecting updates to browsers every 2 weeks, and it's getting harder for me. So yeah, I expect it to be hard. But also, people have legitimate reasons for using old software.
- motoxpro 3y agoTotally fair. Thanks for educating me on a proper use case.
