gollark: I use Firefox, it even supports some addons.
gollark: It is better to make your actual site efficient and build in mobile support than redesign a new version with Google's proprietary technology. Except they boost AMP pages in search results on phones because why NOT be wildly anticompetitive?
gollark: What?
gollark: Trump will probably worsen it. I don't think he understands maths at all in any case.
gollark: My laptop mostly works with it, except the SD card reader doesn't work for some reason. Also the fingerprint sensor and smartcard reader but I have no idea what to do with them anyway.
