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.

    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.
