Go Away Edge
The digital equivalent of an ambush. You're innocently typing away, make one tiny spelling mistake in the Windows search bar, and BAM—Microsoft Edge swoops in like that relative who shows up uninvited when they hear you're cooking dinner. It's Microsoft's desperate cry for attention: "Please use me instead of Chrome! I'm right here! LOOK AT ME!" Meanwhile, Tom's face perfectly captures that mix of horror and betrayal we all feel when our computer makes decisions without our consent. The real irony? You were probably trying to search "how to permanently disable Edge browser" when it happened.

The Wildest Git Diff: When Privacy Promises Vanish
The git diff shows Firefox removing their FAQ answer about not selling personal data. Nothing says "we value privacy" quite like deleting the promise not to sell it! Clearly Firefox decided the best way to compete with Chrome was to speedrun the "Either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain" challenge. That deletion is worth a thousand privacy policies. For those wondering, this is from Firefox's structured-data-firefox-faq.html file where they've removed the entire Q&A about not selling user data. The irony is palpable - they kept the "Why is Firefox so slow?" question though. At least they've got their priorities straight!

Rip Firefox: When Promises Get Deleted In A Commit
The git diff shows Firefox quietly removing their FAQ entry that promised "Nope. Never have, never will" regarding selling personal data. Nothing says "trust us with your privacy" like deleting the promise that you'd protect it! Looks like the fox might be heading to the same data-selling farm where all those other browsers went. Pour one out for the last non-Chrome browser that pretended to care.

What Would You Do When The World Is Burning?
When your production server is literally on fire and someone's genius solution is "Switch to Google Chrome" 😂 This is peak tech support energy – like when your database is corrupting, servers are melting down, and that one person suggests clearing your cache. The Earth is literally exploding in the image, and homie's solution is a browser change. Reminds me of the time our entire API cluster crashed and someone in Slack suggested "have you tried incognito mode?" Pure gold for anyone who's ever received completely irrelevant troubleshooting advice during a genuine crisis.

Meanwhile The Linux Users Sharpen Their Blades
The eternal battle between Microsoft's desperate pleas and Linux users' defiant independence is perfectly captured here. Microsoft is literally begging you not to download Chrome while simultaneously pushing Edge down your throat like an overeager parent with vegetables. Meanwhile, Linux users are treating Microsoft like an annoying insect - cracking their command-line whips and shooing away anything that doesn't respect their freedom to choose. The imagery of commanding Git with a bullwhip is just *chef's kiss* - because nothing says "I'm in control of my computing destiny" like manually compiling your kernel while laughing maniacally.

The Only Purpose Internet Explorer Serves
Internet Explorer's sole purpose in life has been reduced to downloading other browsers. The little blue 'e' desperately seeks validation—"Hey does anyone need me?"—only to be met with cold rejection. But then! A glimmer of hope when someone finally needs it... just to download Firefox. The circle of browser life continues. The only time IE gets any attention is when you've formatted your PC and need something—ANYTHING—to download Chrome, Firefox, or literally any other browser. It's like being the ladder that helps someone climb up, only to be kicked away immediately after.

Small Talk? Best I Can Do Is Complaining About Microsoft
When someone asks "How's your day going?" and you're a developer working with Microsoft products. The absolute pinnacle of social interaction for tech workers - skipping weather chat and diving straight into a 45-minute rant about how Edge keeps reinstalling itself after updates, Teams is eating your RAM for breakfast, and Windows Update decided 3PM on a Thursday was the PERFECT time to restart your machine mid-deployment. Small talk? Nah, let me tell you about my toxic relationship with Microsoft instead.

Dedicated To Firefox Users
Ah, the duality of Firefox users. Some folks are out here fighting the good fight against Manifest V3 (Google's API changes that cripple ad blockers), while others just picked their browser because of the adorable red panda logo. Nothing says "I have my priorities straight" like choosing your web security tools based on cute animal mascots. The Chrome users are probably too busy watching their RAM slowly die to notice anyway.

Internet Explorer Is Faster
Internet Explorer just delivered the most savage comeback in browser history. Sure, it might take IE five minutes to load a single webpage, but at least it responds faster than that person who left you on read three weeks ago. The emotional damage is so severe our poor developer can't even sleep at night. Nothing hurts more than when the slowest browser in existence points out you're getting ghosted harder than a deprecated API. Brutal efficiency where it counts!
