I thought the new planet of the apes movies took place in present times

We always think so lowly of other animals, so this isn't surprising.

Yeah I had an MSI gaming laptop that had a lot of proprietary stuff that was a pain to setup. Everything from display brightness to volume to internet to keyboard lights to headphone jack took special workarounds to setup. This was in 2018 and Ubuntu 18.04. Then 19.04 rolled out, and I didn't have to do the speaker workaround anymore. 19.10 rolled out, and i didn't have to do the keyboard lights workaround. This way, little by little, every Linux kernel upgrade added one or another of the components, and after a couple of years, everything on that laptop worked out of the box. That's when I was truly impressed by Linux.

Actually it wouldn't be that bad if OP gave up on showers altogether.

Yeah, Summit is my daily driver. I love using it.

You should start your defense saying the same thing.

I'm not talking about pulling more people. I'm talking about my issue as an existing and looooong term user of Firefox. I started using a very low end phone recently, and Firefox vs Chrome on it is night and day difference. I don't notice it on my galaxy phone, but on low end devices it's torturous.

I only need Firefox to load pages faster than Chrome

Dawn of the Planet of the what?

I was only commenting on the phrasing. 'unprecedented cloud event' sounds like some global scale meteorological event.

They're talking like it's some global celestial event
