Also, fuck xfinity and their BS. Can’t even change wifi password without downloading an app.

    Lol you clearly weren’t actually using the internet years ago. If you didn’t have Microsoft internet explorer and flash plugin loads of sites wouldn’t work.

        The point that op is rose tinting the past when all that’s happened is we’ve moved from one evil megacorp dominating the internet to another?

      I’ve been using the internet since around 2015 with both Chrome and Firefox (I switch in between frequently), I never have to install plug-ins except for like flash games, but normal sites work fine without any plugins.

        Ahh. So a newbie. There was a short time which was as you described, which you seem to have started your internet journey during. Before then it was IE and plugins otherwise loads of sites wouldn’t work right, after that is now with everything claiming it needs chrome.
