I've had the odd stability issue every now and then. (There was one ongoing issue with my wifi that was caused by a bug in my manufacturer's driver, but that was years ago on Windows 10, and they eventually fixed it.) But I honestly haven't had any issues caused specifically by Microsoft recently that I can recall.

Any problems caused by major features updates are usually solved by simply reinstalling the driver. (And I haven't had any of those sorts of problems in at least a couple years.)

Wasn't ten years ago just Chrome, though?

I think you mean 20 years ago.

It's worth noting that the saved pages are the only thing that are back for now. Their other services have not yet been brought back online.

Good thing I don't use Tabs.

In the US, you typically have to type in your debit/ credit card's info (the 16-digit number, the 3-digit security code, the cardholder's name, and the billing address on file with the bank) on a website in order to purchase something unless you're using PayPal, Google Pay, or something similar to that that the website supports. If you're using any of those, a pop-up usually opens asking for login info, then you select a card or bank account to use for the purchase.

Steam does actually tell you on the game's page if the game requires a 3rd party account to play.

Looks like links to it are completely blacklisted, too. That's rare to see.

IIRC, they've said they'll implement V3 to maintain compatibility, but they'll also continue to maintain V2. You, the extension developer, will not be forced to use V3 if you don't want to.

To add to this, often, even if you turn off Bluetooth, your devices can still communicate via Bluetooth Low Energy, something that's separate from classic Bluetooth and typically (to my knowledge) cannot be turned off. As an example, I've heard that Google uses it to send ad targeting info between devices.

Wouldn't yt-dlp be forced to download the server-side ads, too?

Wasn't that proven to just be a myth?
