I know you can play the game at chrome://dino, but it doesn't evoke the same nostalgic feeling of a 10yr old me turning on aeroplane mode and spamming space bar to try and beat my brother's high score. Good memories.

My brother in christ, just run winget install firefox in command prompt and be done. Fuck chrome and edge.

I started a clean Windows install a few weeks ago. Upon first boot, I immediately deleted the program files folder for Edge in an act of defiance to Microsoft. I then realized I had no browser. Had to ask my son to put a Firefox installer on a flash drive for me.

3 days later, I found out that winget exists.

To really stick it to windows try out Linux, there's plenty of comparable distributions with a windows feel. Else there are programs to disable and limit window's telemetry and advertisements.

For beginners, I would definitely recommend Zorin OS since it can run .exe files in case there's no Linux version (.deb, flatpak, snap, etc.) of the software you're looking to run. You can use Wine in any other distro, but I feel like Zorin OS makes it foolproof with a simple UI.

Does it use wine under the hood? Or how does it do this?
