you now remember firefox 3.0 and how good it was
>>110190967Thanks for reminding me of discount goths chicks
>>110190994rawr :3
Remember "scene" culture? Those were the days.>>110190994>Discount gothScene girls were quirky and playful as opposed the serious demeanor of goth girls. Quite a big difference actually
>>110191010scene girls were fucking annoying just like the emos t. ex-goth
wtf do these have to do with each other>remember the shit you did that you could have done in any other browser at that time? yeah we did that together - mozilla faggots
Firefox 3 3.5 era slow feature rollout and stagnation was the reason Chrome could took root. They sped things with 4 but it was too late by then
>>110191010I never approached one IRL, but anons accounts of their encounters tell that they smelled really bad
>>110191096you werent even born then
>>110190967My HS crush was a scene girl, she was poor and would wear the same clothes to school every day. She was also half black and had gigantic breasts. I used to hold her hand at school and rub on her thighs. It was great. But she had a much older white BF who drove a truck with a flame paint job on it so I stood no real chance with her as a lowly computer nerd. She was also like 2 inches taller than me lol.
>>110191228I had a couple of GFs taller than me, being a 170 cm manlet. Shit was hot especially when the tallest one wore high heels.
but internet explorer has built-in ftp
>>110191117peak era when chrome overtook firefox 2007-2011 or so then google native client came out and destroyed the internet
>>110191228You were really the one cucking that other guy if you think about it.
>>110190967Firefox 2.0 was better.
>>110190994I'm not fat so I don't want other fats
>>1101909673 was the beginning of the end actually.
>>110194067When Chrome came out I switched to that since FF was getting bloated real quick. It's probably even by now kek.
>>110194184When chrome came out, firefox was still far ahead of it. That was the case until about firefox 4, where chrome became about equal, and very quickly became better - but largely because of google fuckery (though the firecuck direction didn't help at all). Today it's plain unusable.
>>110194196>firefox was still far ahead of itThat’s the problem, they didn’t do anything with the lead and just stagnated when chrome was rolling out features. webdevs just switched to chrome in mass and it was already over by the time 4 was released
>>110194413Firefox had a problem of not leveraging its lead, but the reason chrome won was because of anti-competitive practices. For about a month, every day google would release a new web standard, and use the popularity of its websites to make it look like firefox was buggy/broken. They did things like render hundred level deep divs because firefox struggled with that so they could claim to be 10x faster on youtube or whatever. Combined with advertising chrome everywhere, it forced people into it.Plus, as usual, things don't need to update every 5 seconds. Firefox needed to leak less memory, be faster (just because there is no limit to how much speed you ever need), and think about cool UX advances to try. But chrome did not win by achieving these goals.
>>110194432Of google did intentionally sabotage their own websites on firefox, there were some posts by firefox devs about it. https://www.zdnet.com/article/former-mozilla-exec-google-has-sabotaged-firefox-for-years/Also html5 was just rolling out during that time and firefox was just slow to roll and even worse for architectural changes, it took like a decade to roll 64-bit for windows and multiprocess. Main reason chrome won they convinced webdevs by better architecture and just mass converted users from ie by bundling chrome to every shareware installer they found (just throw money)
I remember how Netscape Navigator was superior to Internet Explorer on Win95
Things have gotten so bad that it's not nostalgic for me to remember the good times, it's painful.
I got a glock in my RAWRIE!
>>110190967>>110195665FuckI would do anything to reset the clock back 20 years. Times were better then.
>>110191142you weren't even a sperm in your larping father's nutsack when these cringe magnets were doing their shit GO FUCK YOURSELF.
no I do NOT want to go back to a time when gamer grrrls were on the internet did you fags not learn a single thing from GG? >but they actually posted their tits when we told them to GTFO feeding attention whores is how we got here idiots
>>110190967It never got better than neoplanet.
>>110195781If it makes you feel any better in 20 or so years you'll probably look back at these times fondly because things will be so bad.
>>110194067i thought it was 4, with the big ORANGE button that made NO sense
>>110197267When I say beginning of the end, I mean that it wasn't a good direction and it slowly started to go bad. 4 was just dead.
>>110196963You realize the average of a 4channer is like 35 at this point right?
>>110197947It's actually 16. People who've been on 4chan any amount of time are very largely just lurking these days, or left permanently. It's been an unredeemable shithole for a long time.
>>110200608maybe on gayme and porn boards zooms and alfies are tech illiterate. they probably don't even know what a browser is at this point or how to operate one, it's just some app they never use
>>110200621There isn't a single tech literate poster on /g/ nowadays so clearly it tracks.
>>1102006283rdies are uniaronically better at tech then cumskins these days, mostly because they're forced to use ancient hardware
>>110200640lol
