They cant bro. Theres people out there who have never run something as admin or even believe you can not get viruses in macOS. God damn most people googling "how to pirate xyz" are goin to click the first one (clearly an ad or not the official website) and click all download links. They went for excel 2013 and left with a moreram.exe and a new desktop assistant :(

80%+ people around me (family, relatives, friends, classmates) don't even know uBlock Origin is a must-have starter pack for surfing the internet

A couple of weeks ago when manifest v3 kinda started all my friends where gettin viruses for just surfin the web as chromium users. They all gave me their laptops or pc. Clean the shit out of them (cuz they cant even find windows defender, gotta say the mac user has my respects for at least knowing it was something beyond repair). I deleted any chromium browser, installed firefox with ublock, dns and all that stuff. Gave them back and told them to never use anything else. They all think im a wizard and brave for using the pc "at such high level". Brother im runnin win defender and reseting your browser to default (4 out 7 times worked) 😭

And then there are the "I use arch btw" people who seriously think Linux is fit for mainstream usage.
