What happens if you delete all your web browsers? Would you have to use a USB to transfer them back over to use the internet again?
>>
If you do that then your computer can't connect to the internet anymore. Like ever. It happened to a friend of mines girlfriend.
>>
I'm pretty sure it's impossible to completely remove internet explorer without breaking windows, lots of IE functionality is hardcoded into windows.
>>
>>53257434
not if you have linux
>>
You could write a basic program to just download a browser if you're desperate. HTTP protocols aren't unique to browsers.
>>
>>53257457
Or in windows. Several ways to get a browser back without having one.
>>
You can download things through command prompt.

What happens if you delete command prompt?
>>
No browser doesn't mean no internet. You could do all your surfing on the internet through a command line if you wanted. Not sure how fun that would be.
>>
>>53257556
Well then, You're a fucking retard.
>>
>>53257556
Your computer implodes
>>
>>53257556
Bad things
>>
>>53257556
Not really sure how command prompt is associated with Windows nowadays or what powershell is exactly but in older versions of windows command prompt ran everything so if you deleted it somehow your OS was fucked.

top kek

You become God at that point.

>>53257611

>>53257434
I would just run
curl -O ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/mac/1216/Opera_12.16_Setup_Intel.dmg


Yes I do have the URL memorized
>>
>>53257556
What about drivers? Why not remove everything?
If you really want to learn what the process of taking a computer and getting it to fetch webpages then take class on it.
If you want to know what the network controller should do, read up on networks.
If you want to learn about running applications, read up on operating systems.
Etc

just delete system32 to speed up your system m8

Can confirm that this works.

You can't get to the Presto Opera binaries from the main site anymore so I'd always just go to ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera and navigate from there. After noticing that /linux, /mac, and /win were the directories for their respective binaries I'd start going to whichever directory I needed and clicking the download, and so on till I just had full URLs memorizes
>>
>>53257450
Yeah, if you're using fucking Windows Vista.

IE has been removable for fucking ever, retard.

>>53257744
*memorized

>>53257744
Opera users are weird
>>
>>53257767
If you typed a URL in enough times you'd have it memorized too
>>
>>53257778
yeah, like, the top level domain. Memorizing URLs is definitely a waste of time
>>
>>53257778

I've also got the IMEI of my first phone memorized from when I used to social engineer my way to free TracFone minutes

I never tried to do it, it just happens after you type it enough times. It's not like I just decided to memorize the exact file location and spent the night drilling it into my head

What you refer to as "deleting" is actually the rearrangement of mana sequences in your hard disk. Theoretically you use electromagnetic fields of magnets to modify each mana sequence in your hard disk manually one by one and create the codons for an omnipotent software program without the need of ever learning a programming language or connecting to the internet.

Having images is to much like cheating.

So is using a browser when you claim to have deleted them all
>>
>>53257469
Wget exists in powershell (alias)
>>
>>53257434
sudo pacman -S firefox
>>
>>53257434
you could just wget/curl the browser from the internet
>>
>>53257562
Ask stallman.
>>
>>53258480
I consider wget to be one of the deleted web browsers.
>>
>>53258918
wget's not a browser

A little late but you realize Opera is now just a reminder Chrome that has been purchased by the Chinese?

*reskinned Chrome
>>
>>53259032
You realize that Opera 12.16 is a specific version of Opera that is not a Chrome reskin?
>>
>>53257799
All you need memorized is ftp.opera.com

Anon most browsers add the ftp:// bit themselves.

>Only customizable browser is fairly slow at any task that it only works fine with a fucking gaming rig and the devs are toxic shitheads

>Only browser that works perfectly and synchronizes everything without trouble is a giant botnet that day by day removes flags that could disable shit you don't want, just in case you decide to customize it a little

>Only really fast browser doesn't have ad blocking, the font rendering is terrible and only works on a single operating system

>Opera is a chrome reskin bought by the chinese

>Vivaldi is whacky and featureless

>Most free as in freedom browsers have issues with proprietary plugins and little to no add-ons, of course

In related topics. I love how minimalistic Edge's GUI looks. I just wish it had fucking add-ons already.

>using outdated software
I bet you also use utorrent 2.1.2
>>
>>53257609
Not really. Deleting the program that makes the terminal visible to the user doesn't strip the OS's ability to use shell commands. OR anything really. Technically, the terminal, from both the powershell and cmd programs is a GUI.
>>
>>53259761
No anon, I only use good software.
