What makes it aggressive?

Downdooters, what about my question did you dislike? Is it just you don't want any resistence to anything you say?

> [...] the website tries to aggressively make me download Firefox, with multiple links on the site for it.

> What makes it aggressive?

The parent comment already contained the answer to your question (the multiple links are what makes it aggressive, in GP's opinion). Your comment might have been seen as more constructive if it engaged with that directly.

I don't remember that being there, maybe it was edited. But 2 buttons are not "aggressive". C'mon. Really dude? You believe that shit?

Wasn't edited. 2 large download buttons on a page that barely scrolls is as aggressive as it gets. What, you'd only consider 5 buttons aggressive?

They are medium-sized at best, and 2 of them is not hostile. I doubt they chose them by choice, its just a page template where it makes since to have one at both the top and bottom for longer pages. TWO DUMBASS, TWO FUCKING BUTTONS, THATS IT.

You sound like someone really coping and trying to make it not aggressive. One button would not be, albeit maybe a bit out of place as it's still a standard. Two buttons, is simply aggressive. More aggressive than you screaming full caps even .

You must be a child.

I dislike everything you said.

> Feels a bit out of place that the website tries to aggressively make me download Firefox

It's firefox.com, feels like the perfect place to encourage people to download Firefox. That would be like going to a car dealership and being put off by people trying to sell you a car

it feels more out of place that it's a specific company getting to shove their name up as priority billing for the feature when this entire page should be focusing more on WebSerial support being in Firefox as a whole and not one dude's little devboard company.

Think of it as a collab between two leading open source organizations. Adafruit has contributed a significant amount of open source software and hardware that improves developer experience on microcontrollers, embedded Linux, and Circuit Python.

"one dude's little devboard company" ... that "one dude" is limor fried, who's been shipping open hardware since 2005, and before that from her MIT dorm room...

webserial in firefox happened because a bunch of people and companies, adafruit included, shipped code, fixed bugs, made open hardware, and did the standards grind.

clicking the name/link of the comment (kotaKat) ... defending right-to-repair, foss, anti-drm, anti-walled-garden.

someone ships open source hardware and software that work together... and you shit on it.

join in and tinker, share code and projects ... or stay addicted to being miserable. if you cannot see this as a positive, nothing will ever be.
