    what Ubuntu and Firefox are up to together is kinda what Microsoft went to court over Internet Explorer for in the 90s.

    Can you elaborate on the statement? I’m not connecting the dots.

        No, they’re talking about how Ubuntu doesn’t let you uninstall Firefox, and constantly push ads for it down your throat, and how Ubuntu always opens web search results in Firefox regardless of your default browser, and how… Oh wait

          So you don’t know how to uninstall Firefox on Ubuntu?

          Where do these “Ubuntu ads” display in the operating system? Are you talking about the software browser? An application used to get software suggestions is suggesting software? Or something more nefarious?

          To me, your post just says, “I haven’t used Linux much,” because I’ve never encountered any of these problems… but I’m always open to being wrong.

          Edit : Just wanted to add that I now see that I missed a joke. I appreciate the helpful replies!

            They’re being satirical.

            They’re saying Ubuntu does those things then ending it with “oh wait… [they don’t! That’s what Microsoft does!]”

              I thought the fact that Ubuntu does none of those things, and the “oh, wait…” Made it clear enough, I’ll add a /s next time though
