2025-02-03 Firefox user 18814296 Ending support because Chrome is more 'popular' is so dumb. Chrome is more 'popular' because it's literally forced on everyone and preinstalled on everything. I use Firefox because Chrome harvests personal data to sell to advertisers and won't let me use adblock. so annoying that y'all ended support.

2025-01-03 Firefox user 15773329 As a paying customer for AVAST its moronic that you are removing this because its not as popular as google chrome or edge that are FORCED upon people. Its making me 2nd guess my choice to use you as a antivirus/malware provider
