    Microsoft blocks workaround that enabled users to create local accounts as part of the OOBE installer.

    Yes. This is an alternative. You can create a local account and then delete the other account. Making a throwaway Microsoft account works just fine for this purpose, since Microsoft seems to not allow the normal dead account methods to work (such as [email protected] and [email protected]).

    Here's what happens if you connect Windows XP to the Internet in 2024

    Yeah. This is absolute nonsense. I work with customers on older PCs running XP all the time and this just isn't the case.

    Google Chrome’s Plan To Limit Ad Blocking Extensions Kicks Off Next Week

    I don’t use it because the iPhone version of Firefox is a dumper fire. And this is literally the only reason. I’ve been using Firefox since it was called Netscape Navigator, the great bastion of hope against what was Internet Explorer at the time. When Google Chrome first came out, it was like...

    Whatever the reason, he's made a browser that I and 80 million other people like. 70% of people don't even use an ad blocker, so they won't even really notice a difference. 30% is still a LOT of users, though, and they would notice if their ad blocking stopped working. Only time will tell...

    Marketing privacy and actually having privacy are two very different things. Your writing is better than that of some native English speakers I know.

    It is entirely your opinion that Brave is not an "attractive" alternative to Firefox. Also, you don't seem to know the history of how Brave, the company, came to be. Brendan Eich, the CEO of Brave, was the co-founder of Mozilla. He was the previous CEO of Mozilla. He's also the creator of...

    Looking for a Web browser base email client

    The UI for most email services is trash. Gmail actually has one of the cleaner web UIs. Proton Mail has a clean UI, but their free service sucks with massive limitations. My main email is iCloud, but the web interface is super basic. Do you have an Android or an iPhone? Do you want a free email...

    Pretty soon, every version of Windows is going to suck. Rufus still works fine with the latest build.

    MrBeast Ranks as Highest-Paid YouTube Star Ever, Earning an Estimated $54 Million in 2021

    I can see now that your confusion seems to be in grammatical semantics. I was referring to the math of multiplying numbers by factors of 10. The language I'm using is short scale, but the math I was using is universal across planet earth. What you're referencing, long scale, is calling numbers...

    You don't understand basic math. That's why it doesn't make sense to you. Your "established" progression that you keep talking about is nonsense that isn't based in reality. The math doesn't change between a million and a billion. Whatever you're smoking, it must be potent. Me explaining...

    The only thing that breaks is your math, because you don't understand it. Read what I just wrote above. If you don't understand after that, I can't help you.

    Dude, when you multiply a number by 10, 100, or 1,000, you just add the same number of zeroes to the end of the original number. For example: - 5 times 10 is 50 because you add one zero to 5. - 5 times 1,000 is 5,000 because you add three zeroes to 5. Now, if you take one million (which is...

    You not understanding basic math is the problem here. A billion billions is a quintillion, which looks like this: 1,000,000,000,000,000,000

    YouTube in the browser is fine. It's not hackish. It's just blocking ads. It's never going to be as good of an experience as something like GrayJay or Revanced. Android is superior in every single way when it comes to things like that. Android in general is infinitely less restrictive than iOS...

    Brave will eventually only support V3 in 2025. It still won't have affect on Brave's internal filters and custom filter options. You can add all of uBlock's filters to Brave's custom filters. Brave on iOS doesn't have any extension capability, but they did just recently add blocking paywalls...

    Samsung tablets are quite nice, but you can watch YouTube without ads on the iPad as well. You're repeating yourself and have been wrong twice now. It's up to developers to implement ad blocking or extension support in their browsers on iOS. They can do this if they want. What Apple IS at fault...

    This is an absolutely stupid response with a stupid solution. The solution is to use Brave since it has a full suite of ad blocking tools with custom filters and syncs with every operating system platform. The problem doesn't entirely exist under iOS, it's lazy developers that don't want to...

    That's not what I meant. I meant alternative forks of Firefox and Chrome don't tend to have mobile versions of their apps that can sync to phones. There's usually just the desktop app. This is mostly the case for iPhone, though. There are quite a few open source alternatives to Firefox and...

    Open source browser alternatives are garbage if you're trying to sync to your phone as there's usually no mobile version of the app. I really couldn't care less if you don't recommend AdGuard. I've been using it for years without issues. Pi-hole also isn't going to do anything outside your...

    Aggressive doesn't really do anything if you don't select the filters from the Shields list. You're just "aggressively" using the default checked filters, which isn't much. It's the same thing as uBlock Origin. uBO isn't going to be as efficient if you don't enable more filters in the settings...
