Chrome thinks Firefox is unsafe!
Chrome thinks Firefox is unsafe!
I needed to reinstall Firefox on this computer, so I started up Chrome to download the latest version and it blocked the download as unsafe! I had to manually tell it to download anyway.
Fuck Chrome. I'm glad I only used it to download one file and went back to Firefox.

Don't download programs off the internet. Use scoop.sh
Does scoop.sh just magically make it appear? Does it use pigeon transport?
It all uses the internet, using a browser to download things that are only available using HTTP anyways is and has always been harmless and completely fine.
Scoop is a proper package manager so it installs the binaries and adds shortcuts to them.
As for where it gets the binaries it comes from a manifest that gives a source URL and a checksum. This is way better as it provides better protection and doesn't require a web browser. You can just run one command and you are done.
That sounds suspiciously like scoop.sh would be downloading the program from the internet, and a wise person once told me "Don't download programs off the internet." Not today, Satan!
Off the internet is trusting your browser and search engine not to mislead you. Not to mention a direct download is much faster and more efficient
And why should we trust Scoop not to mislead us? Are you their CEO or security advisor?
And why should we trust you? You are also on the internet.
It's funny because in reality for someone who is capable enough to use/want scoop, it'd come with or add a whole new layer of things where security and such could go wrong.
Dont download, use apt or winget.
Don't use winget as its controlled by Microsoft so it is likely to start pushing edge. Also winget isn't a proper package manager as its just a installer program.
apt only works on Debian bases.
*apt or distro specific package manager
Nice
or brew.sh since this is about a mac
Or flatpak.org if you use Linux
homebrew/linuxbrew works on linux too!
So does many other things. Its better to use proper Linux tools.
If you like it use it but there are better options.
