@mensrea I think we did, it was called Lynx. w3-mode if we wanted to be fancy. One of the first things to that got me attention on my blog (in 1998) was pointing out that the Web Standards Project was going to create a monoculture, and... here we are.

I suspect my PDF ills are fond issue on these Macs in particular, I can't browse music from Musicnotes either. But the fact that if you download from a PDF view in Firefox it munges the file is.... not cool.

@danlyke my partner is having issues with pdfs on their mac as well but we chalked that up to the adobe subscription experiencing. and they've been using ff to do all their pdf reading

@mensrea yay that FF works! I've avoided poisoning these machines with Adobe, still use Preview for all my PDF-ness. And that, at least works. So I use Chrome for downloading insurance cards and buying sheet music, and have set Firefox to hopefully never try to display them, just download them.
