Why are people still using chrome? I don’t think anyone in this house had it past 2012.

    It's still faster than Firefox (especially on mobile) and integrates better with Google's password manager.

    In any case this is an issue with a Chrome extension, not Chrome itself. Nothing stops bad actors doing the same with Firefox extensions.

    Apologies. I had misread Șavian was ASCII all ðs time. I’ll make my [contraction] dictionary soon.

    Þe Ŝavian (and derivative) contractions are fascinating. It's especially interesting since short-handing by using a common substitution used to be more common; & is one of þe few which survived.

    Do you write Shavian long-hand, or only typing?

    Always. It doesn't even have to be anti-AI; could be out of sheer cussedness.

    A. Stop using Chrome B. If you dont pay money for.your VPN you pay with your data. C. Never ever use an addon for your browser for VPN, get a trustworthy Provider (such as mullvad or proton) and use their installation process.

    Funny that they did all that push to Manifest v3 because 'muh security' yet this bullshit still works.
    ...almost as if it was never about security at all....huh....
