Why the browser?

I'm so tired of this discussion. Not when it's asked with sincerity but rather when it's asked and then every answer that's contrary to the questioner's preconceived notion is lambasted.

Of course, it can be any question, but if you want to actually learn something (or understand my position) then the important skills are listening, followed by perhaps integrating my experiences with your own. If you don't actually want to learn something, please persist in your ignorance quietly OR teach me something through your counter-point.

I feel like I have travelled back to 1995
