      My wife kept on using Chrome on her PC after Ublock was removed from Chrome.

      In less than 30 days I had to reformat. Literally had a dancing lady clippy, and 3 “App” stores pop up when you hit windows key. It felt like it was 1998 again. If it was a human being, I would have killed it.

      She has had that PC just fine for 7 years now with no issues. I guess she’s got out of practice for looking for the real download button…

      She finally relented and swapped to Firefox.

      What? You don’t want fake direct download links? I like my page to be covered in random green download icons. Thank you very much. My grandma loves getting her identity stolen, and so do I.

        Hi, it’a me, you! You won’t believe what I bought with your credit card today, so glad you treated myself.
