Browser Memes

Opera GX: "We've added the fried egg back to program files due to popular demand." Also Opera GX: "We saved 18kb by removing this fried egg image that's been sitting in our codebase since 2019." Nothing says "professional software development" quite like embedding random food pictures in your browser. Somewhere, a developer spent actual work hours arguing about egg retention in a code review. And people wonder why software updates take so long.

The eternal lie of the web. You click "don't show again" on a cookie notice, refresh the page, and boom—there it is again. It's like websites have the memory of a goldfish but only for user preferences. Meanwhile, they somehow remember that one embarrassing product you looked at 7 years ago to show in targeted ads. The irony of a site claiming it "doesn't use cookies" while clearly not remembering your preference is just *chef's kiss*. The digital equivalent of telling someone your name and them asking what your name is 30 seconds later.

OH. MY. GOD. This is absolute GENIUS! It's a double-layered joke that will make your brain explode! 🤯 In "The Matrix," Neo literally has to decide whether to accept a cookie from the Oracle (who's basically the mystical fortune-teller lady). Meanwhile, in our digital hellscape, we're CONSTANTLY harassed by those annoying "Accept Cookies" popups from websites—including Oracle, the massive database company! It's the PERFECT collision of movie references and web development trauma! And don't even get me started on "third-party cookies"—those digital stalkers that follow you around the internet like that ex who just CAN'T take a hint! Except these cookies come from ORACLE! The drama! The irony! I simply cannot!

Flash is the tech equivalent of a zombie apocalypse survivor. Adobe officially killed it in 2020, but here it is in 2025, crawling back from the grave with that red logo turned blue like it's wearing a disguise. "I lived, b*tches!" The number of legacy systems still running Flash is the real horror story here. Some ancient enterprise app is probably keeping the entire financial sector hostage with its Flash dependency. The developers who can maintain it are either retired or charging consultant rates that would make a surgeon blush.
