Part of the problem with websites, browsers and operating systems in the 2020s is that it seems like they are constantly trying to talk to you.

  • Google Chrome and Gmail are constantly asking me if I want to use X kiddy version of their services. No, I want the version from 10 years ago, shut up and leave me alone.
  • Google Chrome is constantly notifying me of blocked pop ups. Holy shit, how have the retards who create this garbage not realized how infuriating it is to receive a popup... notifying me of a blocked pop up? Just block the fucking popups and stop seeking my validation.
  • "You downloaded this you downloaded that... are you sure you want to download this" ... yes I am sure I want to download this shit, Jesus Christ stop fucking asking me all the time.

All in all the shitty design of web browsers is making me want to quit the internet for good. It's like every browser makes the default assumption that nobody knows how to use the internet in 2023 and they all need to be supervised by a built-in nanny that NEVER stops pestering them with questions or popups. I just want a 1990s internet experience where my browser doesn't assume I am retarded or a child and I am able to take back control. What's the best browser for me?
