Agree, I just downloaded Firefox onto my windows PC this week, experienced none of these things, and the process was really easy. I am in the US, so that could be an explanation.


That's so strange, I've experienced all of these things on multiple set ups over the past year+ (based in the US). I wonder what the difference is on why some users do/don't get this...


I expect that pcs of developers are excluded from spam harassment to prevent the only group who is capable of backlash and user-defense to engage in user-defense. I conclude that you work with customer & privat person pcs while most of us here do not. Or are just most of the times on mac and nux.


I'm in Hungary, Europe so not even an EU thing


I got that message recently when I downloaded chrome on a windows machine. (Maybe two weeks ago) I’m within the eu


Hungary is in the EU. You're there, but you didn't know?


(I am not the downvoter; misreading things happens to me a lot as well...) I think u/haunter meant that it's, thus, not an EU-wide thing, not that Hungary is not EU


Oh, OK. I did misread it. My bad.
