@dajix @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social It’s deceptive. They know exactly what they’re doing. That’s why they also ask if you haven’t used your browser for a while.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Guess what, Firefox does the same thing (a refresh will reset your privacy settings and your default browser, all of which affect Mozilla’s revenue streams) but they’re a tad sneakier/cleverer(?) about it.
(Firefox is not private by default so getting you to reset your settings is how they try to influence you to return to their preferred configuration.)
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Very cool. Here’s hoping to see this in @gnome one day too.
PS. I’m sure you’re aware of it but, just in case, the window positions/dimensions appear to be lost on the restart. (An issue I have on GNOME too whenever it returns from suspend.)
@Bro666 @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Which would make perfect sense if I had said “Plasma forces you to use Firefox.” Would you like any other straw men to rile against?
