Adobe Express doesn't work in Firefox
(lemmy.ca)
When going to use Adobe express on Firefox it comes up with the following message, saying that this browser doesn't play well with others and that I should use Safari, Google Chrome, or Microsoft Edge instead.
In that you aren't simply pirating the stuff because Adobe's cracked to hell and back? Makes you an outlier I'd bet, but it's not weird.

Pirating the stuff wouldn't counter a lot of my ethical reasons for not using Adobe (and would arguably undermine them too.)
I don't like the idea of a single-sourced software solution becoming the basis for entire creative and professional industries. Hardware either, for that matter, but that's a different issue.
So I don't use Adobe. I avoid using MS Office.
Probably a silly hill to die on if it comes down to it, but I turned down a 1700 dollar free Macbook on principle.

And because I know it will come up:
No, I don't like relying on Windows for things either, hence as much of my suite of software being cross-platform as possible.
I'm willing to go Windows more than Apple simply because, while Windows has a bit of a stranglehold, it's one of apathy rather than malice (like I feel much of Apple's exclusivity and control is.) Windows' hold on gaming and productivity markets is dying as Linux gains a stronger foothold, as it should.
