  How would something so simple bug out? It wouldn’t be impossible I guess, but the chances that it isn’t Windows’ fault seem really slim

  Do you mean DOSbox old or is there a support gap between the two?

  Obviously it’s not technically possible for a Microsoft program to open links in a different browser than their own. It’s really hard to code that sort of cross compatibility. At least when your company name is Microsoft.

  I did the same thing untill I switched to Geruda Linux a few weeks ago. Neat arch based distro that is optimized for gaming. When I bought a laptop I explicitly chose the DIY Framework laptop so I didn’t have to purchase Windows and have been running Fedora on that for years without issues.

  Remember those horrible toolbars? Those were a problem on all browsers and reinstall themselves automatically unless you fully purged them from your pc. I don’t think Chrome supported ever supported toolbars, that was actually a feature back then

  I don’t know specific vulnarabilities but they either exist already or can be discovered at any moment without being patched. Not installing stuff yourself doesn’t make you safe, just less unsafe.
