  • Complete and utterly false, USA has that reputation because it’s true.

    USA has that reputation because it happens all the time, because it’s easy to make a lawsuit, even often finding a lawyer that will take the case it without payment, but take the fee as a percentage of the potential winnings. And because USA has insane rules of extremely high compensations.

    USA is not known for this because of a single anecdote, but because it’s very common, and because of the insane compensations, which is part of why it is so common to also try with what would be a frivolous suit in any other country.

    Point in case would also be the Apple lawsuit against Samsung, where part of the case was as simple as a tablet being a fucking tablet! When even Star Trek of the 60’s realized that it was a convenient form factor.
    Apple won on just about all points of the case, but in following years they were completely dismantled, with decisions that the case didn’t have a basis, and the patents were interpreted way to widely.
    This was a HUGE case that cost enormous amounts of money for both sides, and the only true winners are the lawyers. The US judicial system in this regard is completely rotten and that is being abused for frivolous cases that would be thrown out in other countries.














  • its all just bloat.

    Here you go:
    https://www.brow.sh/

    If you want a lean no bloat Web Browser there are many that fit that label way better than Firefox.
    Firefox was always a full featured browser with more features than most.

    Another nice little browser would be Falkon:
    https://www.falkon.org/

    There are dozens of such browsers, Firefox is great because it’s complete, go get your incomplete browser with only aged features elsewhere, that doesn’t have the new features Firefox offer.
    Some of us use for instance the page translation quite often. If you are not used to that, you are limiting your browsing to only sources in languages you understand. I understand 5 languages, but not for instance Chinese and French.
