Lol you clearly weren't actually using the internet years ago. If you didn't have Microsoft internet explorer and flash plugin loads of sites wouldn't work.
I've been on the internet since the 90s and I think you're missing the point.
The point that op is rose tinting the past when all that's happened is we've moved from one evil megacorp dominating the internet to another?
I've been using the internet since around 2015 with both Chrome and Firefox (I switch in between frequently), I never have to install plug-ins except for like flash games, but normal sites work fine without any plugins.
Ahh. So a newbie. There was a short time which was as you described, which you seem to have started your internet journey during. Before then it was IE and plugins otherwise loads of sites wouldn't work right, after that is now with everything claiming it needs chrome.
Jezus, 2014-2015 was my first year at university. I feel old now.
That's around the time I got my first phone, I feel too young to be here.
