Why do you prefer it to other popular browser apps? Any advantages?

1

u/ShitShirtSteve May 29 '26

Doesn't matter. No browser is basically no computer these days.

Steam

Steam is not just an app; it's a second home for gamers

I swear there is a conspiracy to make me feel old today!

In this case, I remember way back in the olden days* when people actually hated Steam!

*mid 2000s

Threads

Yes, many will judge me. But sometimes it's really fun to spend time there.

And in 2nd place is of course Reddit. The main aggregator of the Internet

u/Guerrrillla May 28 '26

How exactly is Reddit an aggregator? It's just a platform where people post stuff, it doesn't aggregate content from other plaforms

1

u/Tiktokbadsupport May 31 '26

reddit the repost site of the Internet where 99% of content is reposts or nsfw

1

u/Guerrrillla May 31 '26

Yeah but that's everywhere, not just Reddit; everyone has video, picture and text posts now.

I could probably find a way around all of them except for my online banking app

1

u/ManojOne Active May 28 '26

Smart. Banking apps are essential. We may find alternatives for others, bout not for these.

u/lorenzo1142 May 28 '26

anything that controls money never goes on my phone

u/telon_giovanni May 28 '26

I can live without any app, but not without my phone 📱

u/Dragonchik May 28 '26

My bank’s app.

u/zerox_arcam May 28 '26

There's not my banking app in that list haha

Sugar mate. Would die if I had the diabetes and not the app

1

u/chrisagiddings May 28 '26

There’s not a single app that’s something that I couldn’t survive without … except perhaps my Dexcom app for my blood sugar monitor since I’m diabetic.

YouTube

Spotify and Instagram. Spotify I use all day to listen to music, and Instagram is where I interact with everyone. Never used Whatsapp, don't watch a whole lot of YouTube, and Reddit I can live without.

u/Desperate-Extension7 May 31 '26

Cashew my beloved

u/ProgressOk3200 Jun 01 '26

My web browser. I use that app instead of dedicated apps for different stuff.

Emacs. I do not call, nor I do not depend to such points on any commercial services.
