Believe it or not, the Nikelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show some fun Star Trek stuff in it. Leonardo's favorite show is called Space Heroes, which is a parody of Star Trek: The Animated Series.

In this case, "PDF file" is a homophone for "pedophile".

For me, it's not image viewers, but websites that take photo uploads. None of them that I've ever used have supported webp, so I always have to convert to png or jpg.

I wholeheartedly agree. I'm a technical person, I run Linux as my primary OS and use FOSS software. But I also have a full time job and 2 small kids, and frankly I just don't have the time or patience to be a full time sysadmin. Proton has come a long way in providing alternatives to Gmail, GCalendar, GDrive, etc., but like you said if you want to replace ALL of Google you practically have to self host a gazillion Nextcloud instances or whatever.

I found that even with AdGuard DNS enabled, I still saw promoted posts (ads) using the Reddit app, so I deleted it.

It's because Chrome is so ubiquitous. You go to any Google site, particularly search, in a browser other than Chrome and you're presented with notifications to install Chrome. Plus, its integration with Google accounts presents a great value proposition for many users.

Personally, I was on Firefox for years until I got a MacBook Pro in 2014. For whatever reason, Firefox would constantly crash, so I switched to Chrome. I only went back to Firefox in about... 2019(?) when they released Quantum and I've been on it since. It's really the perfect browser, particularly with extension support. I also like how on Android you can install uBlock Origin.

With Google's impending Manifest V3 looming on the horizon for all Chromium-based browsers, it just further cements my decision to remain on Firefox. I do keep Brave around as backup for the extremely rare situations where something for whatever reason doesn't work in Firefox, but that's becoming exceedingly unnecessary.

I kinda do both? For some reason, I prefer the CLI when I clone a repo, but Sourcetree for committing, pulling, and pushing, and my IDE's built in git tools for merges.
