You also have zero way of proving that it wasnt being used, posts from devs that say the feature they are removing isnt being used doesnt have much weight.

You are basically telling me that you have never clicked on a pic link in local and that you dont know anyone who has done the same.

Supporting something as complex as a web browser isn't something you do on a rainy afternoon. It takes serious development effort, even if they aren't keeping it updated (which they didn't), to just keep the thing running in its broken state. Same goes for the jukebox.
Every possible change, related or not, could potentially (and likely did on more than one occasion) break that stuff and then it needed fixing, let alone the bugs and instability introduced through those features. QA had to test it again and again after every patch. That takes a little more effort than just ticking a few boxes.

Software engineering isn't just "write code and let it running", it's also about maintaining said code. Maintaining code is a lot more expensive and time-consuming than writing it and it only gets worse over time.

When you don't know the difference between there, their, and they're, you come across as being so uneducated that your viewpoint can be safely dismissed. The literate is unlikely to learn much from the illiterate.

You can put your game in windowed mode and switch as fast as you would back and forth to any browser of your liking.

It's gone, just like the time it took you to read this and other posts. Gone, forever. And you aren't getting younger. Enjoy what is out there. And it did a bad job on showing p0rn sites anyways.

This is bullshit.

Everyone and i mean EVERYONE used the igb at least once to look at funny pics and gifs.

ccp lies about statistics every time it suits them.

Nope. Not everyone. I never used the IGB even once.

However, I do like your approach - don't like what is being said, so just claim it lies so you can ignore it. You seem like a DMC alt with that attitude.

Holy hell, let it go. Removing the in game browser was a good thing.

Why? I had the IGB up 24/7 for years. Losing it has been a massive pain.

I agree, Todays internet browser is actually a large program that is constantly downloading data, caching files, and using system resources, they also need updating regularly. From a performance perspective getting rid of the in-game browser was a smart move.

Nope, not even once. I care about my security, so never used it.

If you want to prove otherwise, go ahead. You won't be able to, even if you had the means, since I never used it.

So the only BS DMC, is yours.
