Yeah it definitely seems like there’s some selection bias in the responses. Maybe we need an anonymous poll.

Nah I’m just curious after seeing the meme post about manual transmissions.

I’ll give you one other category - off-road focused SUVs (Wranglers, Broncos, etc…)

Most of these just make me smile or shake my head, but this one legitimately made me laugh.

This has been going on for years across multiple devices. Basically since the rewrite. Only on Android, never on Linux.

Not on Android.

I use Firefox everywhere, but there are a few main issues that stop me from converting people…

• The lack of tab groups. This seems silly, but most people I know, especially on mobile, keep a lot of tabs open. If they’re researching something, or shopping for something they’ll leave 20 tabs open. Having that in one tab group in Chrome is a better way to organize than just tons of tabs.
• Sites that don’t work well on Firefox. Again, specifically on mobile I run into sites that work on Chrome but not on Firefox.
• General stability issues. I need to force close Firefox once or twice a day because it will just fail to load pages.

Linux is a great way to extend the usefulness of an EOL Chromebook. I would not buy a Chromebook for Linux though. You’d be better off getting a used Thinkpad or something.

The problem is that tablets like this generally can’t take advantage of the turbo boost on the CPU due to thermal throttling. I’ll wait and see, but I expect it to perform worse than an N5100 laptop.

Using YouTube, even with adblock, supports the idea that there is a market for this content and that it can be monetized.

Then you should stop using YouTube.

And even if it’s on their printed menu, you might look at the menu on Google Maps and see one place has a dish for $20 and another place had the same dish for $24. You go to the cheaper place and sit down and see the 18% fee. Are you necessarily going to leave and go to the other one?

Music services are almost a necessity to me because of the amount of music I listen to, but it’s also a different animal. They all have mostly the same library, so you won’t typically be subscribing to more than one.

The problem with streaming video services is that most people watch a couple genres, and there’s content in every genre on every streaming platform. I watch a lot of scifi, for example. So I would need to subscribe to Apple TV for Silo and Foundation, Paramount+ for Star Trek, etc…

It sounds like you haven’t used a user friendly Linux distro in the last decade. Mint and Ubuntu will install any proprietary driver you need, but even beyond that most WiFi cards are supported out of the box by the Linux kernel now.

I remember WaterFox but this is getting ridiculous.

GTFO with your Hawaiian pizza propaganda.

I think he means tabs along the top like on a PC browser.

I’m surprised so many people here don’t find many of them funny. I don’t find them hilarious or even laugh out loud funny, but most of them at least make me smile.

Do any of these extensions work on Android? It’s the one thing I miss from Chrome mobile at this point.

Honestly with things like Heroic it’s unlikely that you really need to “tinker” much regardless.
