>macOS never bothers me with anything about using their products over someone else's
Except the parts where you can't upgrade or fix iOS without using a Mac. Or how they'll blame you for not buying their cloud backup if the hardware they sold you fails miserably.
Apple does it differently, but they still push their own products on you.
@lerk
I wouldn't call it mafia, but yes it's annoying. But I also seem to remember Google advertising Chrome when using their search engine from a different browser. And then there's Apple...
Point is, I think it's common practice for companies to advertise their own products within their own ecosystem. I doubt there's anything that can be done about it.

I see. I usually go out of my way to change to English.

Am I weird for always using these websites in English instead of my local language?

It's not even an issue of system integration. Edge just suspends tabs when not in use.
@lerk
I know I've read some independent reviews that proved Edge did save the most battery out of the big competitors. I know it usually suspends tabs as soon as you leave them, so they don't use up CPU cycles.

There's always gonna be that 1 Top Gear episode to show USA does have some fringe hick towns that are a bit fucked up. But you still have to do something to provoke people for you to actually fear for your life.
So my question is, what did she do...

Now we just have to ask it: WHYYYYY!!!!!!

>why, say, Fukushima didn't compel Japan to do the same.
Because literally no one died from Fukushima. Look it up.
Chernobyl is the only disaster of it's nature where you have a lot of people dying, where you have an undeniable and easily provable increase in cancer rates, where there were malformed babies born immediately after the incident, where the environment was so irradiated that a large area was deemed uninhabitable and you're even met with military checkpoints if you try to go in.
Actually trying to compare the two shows just how ignorant you are on the subject. I mean for Christ's sake, we even know that Russian forces managed to get themselves radiation burns when they tried to occupy the place, because they didn't realize what they were doing. Chernobyl is a continuous threat to Eastern Europe in general, and it's gonna continue being one for thousands of years.
And then there's the issue of you trying to ignore grammar and context. If those words had been their own article, or even better, a part of Article 17, your interpretation could absolutely make sense. But they're not. You can't ignore the context of the sentence and derive a different meaning than one tied directly to the Chernobyl disaster and it's consequences.
@anornymorse
I honestly have no idea what you're even trying to say.
@anornymorse
Considering that comes immediately after a reference to Chernobyl, I think that's more of a desire to protect the people from genetic mutations due to lingering radiation, than the usual white-supremacy crap.
A play in 3 acts.
