Firefox

"Whoa there!"

Go fuck yourself with that fellow kids corporate speak. That pisses me off so much, way more than it probably should.

Fuck Adobe, not supporting Linux, and now not even supporting Firefox, the once most used browser? Whoever pirates their crappy software deserves a statue.

Any software company that uses monthly subscriptions as their business model can fuck right off. Let us own what we buy.

As another comment suggests, try to change your user-agent. Chameleon is great.

Get a user agent switcher extension

Are we surprised that Adobe is doing this? Adobe is exactly who I would've suspected adapting this bullshit immediately.

Are you kidding - they basically invented the problem. They were one of the first to move to the "rent your software" model way back when

This is the main issue with that web DRM "security" shit that Google is trying to push. They have such a great market share now that big websites can now afford to put a check "only for Chrome" losing a very small percentage of users

Adobe, a company which developed nothing but just bought off 3rd party software by acquiring the actual developing company, and stitched everything together somehow, like a Frankenstein's Creature, and finally sold it as a service.

Thank you, but no thank you.

Same applies for Autodesk.

I will recommend GIMP or Krita usage even more

There isn't anything that Adobe charges money for that you can't find an open source alternative.

I have been removing Adobe from my life starting way back with Flash, long before it was discontinued. Then Acrobat and the final thing to go was when I switched to Affinity Photo and Designer and ditched Photoshop. It works every bit as well for me but I never was a Photoshop power user. For a long time the only company that showed up when I searched online to see if my email had been pwned was of course Adobe and that was over a decade ago.

I've refused to use Adobe for a while because of their bullshit. Their main product I care about is Lightroom, but Darktable is a perfectly fine replacement for it

Fuck Adobe. As an industry professional I have to use multiple offerings from them, and they have ALL gotten worse, rather than better. It all started going downhill when they started their bullshit subscription-only model.

Time for #abode , I want to believe ;)

This is also the company that charges you to cancel your membership. Like, 60 bucks or something, sometimes more, to stop using their product. Horrible company. Bloatware, laggy software anyways.

They're not part of the problem. They're the problem.

I’d seriously consider if your task can be accomplished with any other software. Personally I find LibreOffice Draw to be a perfectly adequate Adobe Acrobat Pro replacement for most situations. I know everyone has a different workflow though.

This is exactly why I switched from Photoshop to Affinity. It's just as good and somewhat even better than PS and it's a one time purchase forever. I will never look back.

I miss the days of Creative Suite. You know, when you can just buy the thing once and do whatever you want with it for the rest of your life?

I actually miss the days of Macromedia even more. Those round icons with the weird typography are just timeless. Especially the Flash logo.

So, you can't use adobe with a widely-used and -accepted browser, you must use one of the notoriously unscrupulous and anti-privacy tech giants' browsers. Nothing worrying there! /s Also, more of "Bullshit As Usual" from adobe

Thank God I never had to learn any Adobe products, one of the most anti-consumer companies out there.

Adobe has been a constant frustration for me. I was having issues with Acrobat DC on Windows 10 and ended up having to uninstall the 64 bit version and installing the legacy 32 bit version in its place.

I want to use something else for PDF editing but our company refuses to consider alternatives.

Does a user agent change this

I love how on most sites it works with a user agent switcher
