By "free browsers" I didn't mean "free versions". I'm thinking more along the lines of Pale Moon or Konqueror (in it's early days), third-party FOSS browsers with limited features.
I think web browsers would make sense as a subscription. The battle to keep them secure is intense and always ongoing. I think Firefox and Chrome should be subscriptions, while free browsers should have a drastically reduced feature set.
I can't help since I switched to Linux, but yeah those long path limits man. Oh and maybe Explorer ++ works IDK. I used it for a bit because the native File Explorer stopped working for a few months. Might be worth a shot.
In America the justice system leans strongly in favour of the defence (unless you're poor, but we'll put that aside for now). In China and east Asia more generally the justice system leans towards maintaining social harmony even if it means a higher risk of convicting the wrong person.
If you explain yourself, people take that as meaning it's up for debate. Better to say "I like it that way".
I considered swapping to a flip-phone but stopped because I need to be able to access my banking app when near ATM's. My card only ever has the bare minimum amount of money on it so that theft isn't a concern.
That's not filtering ourselves, that's letting ourselves be filtered. If an algorithm does the mental work of filtering us into bubbles, that makes it harder to escape.
That's the best part. You'd only get those pointless features if you paid money. If you didn't you'd get the Pale Moon browser (or something like it).
