In my experience Safari is the new internet explorer

Midnitte ,

We've reached the point where chrome is now the new IE.

Everything old is new again.

Not even needed. You can open the Microsoft store to install Firefox or if winget is pre installed you can use winget.

Problem with the store is it encrypts the files. Ateast the last time i used it

Using a browser to download a browser is for people who don't know how to use a package manager.

WolfLink ,

You need a browser to install a packages manager on Windows or Mac.

(Unless you’ve memorized the urls you need and can use curl)

Windows has WinGet now. It's probably already installed but if not, their install page says it can be installed from the Microsoft Store. It also has WSL for running Linux programs.

They couldn't create a tool without putting Win in it's name even :)

Guess we should add Lin to all the Linux package managers....

I swear, y'all will find anything to complain about Windows, lol. Not that it isn't sometimes justified.

That's true. :)

Everyone who needs to use Mac or Windows due to work will very likely not have permissions to install anything anyway. And the lost souls using those "Operating Systems" out of free will ... well "some just need to be left behind. The family doesn't need to care for them anymore."

refurbishedrefurbisher ,

Both Windows and Mac come with package managers of sorts. Windows has WinGet and the Windows Store. Mac has the App Store.

WolfLink ,

That’s fair. App Store as the GUI equivalent of a package manager makes sense.

Package managers are great until you realize you don't know if you need to install "firefox" or "Morzilla Firefox" or "Firefox browser", only to realize you don't know how Mozilla is spelled.
