As a web developer, I'm actually quite fine with this. Considering your family members probably fall under the "potential IE users" category.

All of them were using an up-to-date copy of Firefox previously with ad and tracker blocking configured with exceptions for their financial sites and with Flash configured to automatically update via Windows service as well.

It is frightening that as a web developer you lack the comprehension of why a single dominant browser is quite bad for the web. Have considered a career change, maybe growing vegetables is something you'd be good at.

I think the parent is saying that's it preferable to IE being that one single browser.

And honestly, your reply was childish and and a bit douche-bag-ish.

There's no need for this here - (I assume) we're all adults, and don't need to resort to playground tactics.

(If you actually are under 16, then I take the above and I'm sorry - welcome to HN!)
