We can :) But, we probably won’t :(

How would something so simple bug out? It wouldn’t be impossible I guess, but the chance that it isn’t Windows’ fault seem really slim

Obviously it’s not technically possible for a Microsoft program to open links in a different browser than their own. It’s really hard to code that sort of cross compatibility. At least when your company name is Microsoft.

Remember those horrible toolbars? Those were a problem on all browsers and reinstalled themselves automatically unless you fully purged them from your pc. I don’t think Chrome ever supported toolbars, that was actually a feature back then

I don’t know specific vulnarabilities but they either exist already or can be discovered at any moment without being patched. Not installing stuff yourself doesn’t make you safe, just less unsafe.

Me too. My nextcloud has been dead for years at this point.

In a lot of cases it’s cheap and fun, but it can also be time consuming and easy to mess up. Hosting your own mail server for example is probably not worth it for most people.

My condolences
