I can do most of my online banking with Seamonkey/Firefox, but when trying to activate a new credit card I got halfway into a set of screens that I don't normally access, and things just hung. I decided I might as well waste as much of the bank's time as they were wasting of mine, so I went down to my local branch and managed to get a supervisor. The first thing he did was ask me which browser I was using. I told him I was using Firefox, and he said, "Never heard of it." (!) He turned around his terminal so I could get at it, and I went through the same steps as I had tried at home. Naturally, since it was running their anointed browser (Microsoft Edge), everything went smoothly. I pointed out that this is a form of discrimination, and left the bank muttering things about digital racism. Since the supervisor wasn't Caucasian, this had a gratifying effect. -- /~\ Charlie Gibbs | They offer a huge range of \ / <cgibbs@kltpzyxm.invalid> | world-class vulnerabilities X I'm really at ac.dekanfrus | that only Microsoft can provide. / \ if you read it the right way. | -- druck <n...@druck.org.uk>
