No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I still use Chrome for work.:-(
I use Firefox for everything else:-).
Same, literally can't use Firefox (though i got an exception to install it) its blocked system wide from being able to access anything. Idk why the company hates FF so much.
Maybe bc it blocks ads? :-P (More likely to reduce their costs of having to test everything on any non-Chrome browser.)
Yeah, given the state of the internal tech, it's very likely the latter.
It does things very differently, and many webpage designers hate it with a passion - I don't know of the details why - despite how it is a successor to Netscape Navigator, open source, and a competitor to the monopolistic Google's Chrome. Maybe there are reasons for why it does what it does even, but it alienates people who enjoy the simplicity of just making pages work on Chrome, and then anyone else be damned.
Yeah kinda like the old days where internet explorer was the default standard lol.
(Who the hell would downvote this comment - IE deserves to be made fun of at every opportunity!!?!!:-P - and within minutes too, you might have a stalker:-D)
Sigh, yes those were the days. The bad old days. ~~Chrome~~ Google was supposed to be our savior but...
Lol I wouldn't be surprised if I did, posting anywhere with politics involved doesn't usually end well :P
IE was hot garbage, I was quickly a Firefox fan (I remember version 3 being a huge release haha) but yeah tons of sites were broken on FF at the time.
Chrome was generally faster and more reliably loaded, plus the IE view extension I THINK didn't require admin rights like firefoxes did :P so I drifted to Chrome for a long while.
Back on Firefox tho, really glad they're still around haha.
Edit: Made me think about the old ACID tests
Similar, though halfway made the switch to Firefox sooner, at least on a mobile, and still nowadays have to use Chrome more on a desktop. For one thing, it supports multiple profiles better, which is mandatory for managing two work emails that both use Microdick's Outlook.
It is really annoying though, like how it always checks in with home base despite opting out, and how I have to force close it every time I'm done with it or else my phone gives me warning messages about it using up too much battery, even if I haven't used it at all that day (hence why I've taken to force closing it).
But... no ads, and that wins:-). Also open source, so it's got a strong base, just I wish it was implemented more than a little better, which is probably a harder ask than I give it credit for, so I am glad that it works as well as it does, with everything wanting to kill it off.
Brave works too since it's based on chromium. I'd rather use brave or chromium rather than chrome
Ooh, good thought.
