A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

How is any of that the user's problem
If you think it's just a matter of writing a completely fresh browser every few years to remove legacy code, then I invite you to do so and prove us all wrong. I'll be looking forward to it, along with all of the new security holes you open by using new, untested code all the time.
In the meantime, feel free to use an ESR version of whatever browser you prefer a slower update cycle while still being supported for any major security findings.
