I see your point, but in the case of corpos wanting to make money, it is very likely the newer ones are very much of lower quality than the ones I had 10-20 years ago.

Because, you know, “profits over people” and all that.

They’re not very good now, and sort of taste like chemicals. :/

As Ftumch said, winget is really the way to go these days. No browser, just:

Terminal > winget install mozilla.firefox > Done.

Exactly the reason I set up mine. Couldn’t be more important at this time!
