I used Firefox before chrome even was a thing and never moved away. Fuck chrome.

I briefly lived in the dark side of IE6 because AOL fucked over the Netscape browser so badly. But then I came back like the prodigal son when Firefox (then Firebird) came along.

Yeah I remember IE5 and NS4, as well as the Firebird/Phoenix/Firefox naming joys back in the day.

If you want to blow your brains out, try getting XHTML 1.1 working in IE6. It is indeed possible if you modify the XHTML DTD. Interestingly it'd render shit so much better since it'd use MSXML instead of Trident as the rendering engine. Sadly it would add about 400k to the page since it needed to load a custom DTD...

You're an even older user than me then lol. I think it was '08 or '09 when I started using the internet.

We're all in this together, brother.

[–] glorious_albus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Hell yeah! They can take Firefox out of my cold dead hands.

I went to Firefox when Chrome had that huge memory leak issue.
