Not really, because there aren't any thoroughly supported, mainstream browsers as clean of spyware features as Firefox.

Chromium still has more pervasive spyware features than Firefox with all the data collection options enabled.

Pocket can be disabled by setting extensions.pocket.enabled to false. Mozilla has admitted the promotion extension was a mistake and is removing it. I cannot remember the last time this sort of episode ever occurred with Firefox, it should

Unfortunately those sorts of people tend to be less informed about I.T and that eventually leads to their NetBurst, Pentium M and Atom machines performing even slower than they would be if they were maintained probably. They probably waste

They support 486's though, which is quite rare for 2017.

If OBSD feels it can make use of older arches then so be it, many users will find less intensive jobs for the respective hardware and it saves it from going to waste/recycling.

Not really, the flaws in our hardware may well backfire horribly on the people who instigated them as well.

It's not really a dystopia if we can already free ourselves from blobware (well, with old enough processors that is).

Quality is still good but lyrically they are all the same now. 5.2's 'Aquarela do Linux' was probably the last aggressive song.

Well dealing with certain sites covered in Javascript elements (YouTube comments on the mobile site comes to mind) the browser's 'memory' of clickable elements don't always update with each swipe. So tapping one element

You're not really being fair on Nokia or BB; Nokia had an iPhone competitor when they added phone functionality to their Maemo 'Internet Tablet' OS in 2009, creating the N900. Sadly it had to compete with another in-house pro

Win7 has not had to face a major update since SP1, and has seven years of bugfixes under its belt. Not to mention that it was merely a reworking of Vista, which is even older. The consumer editions of Win10 are managed like Arch Linux, it i

Not really, Win7 is still far more stable, and the UI is still far superior. Also, the spying doesn't come close to Win10 as MS can't violate the TOS.
