Hello JohnHell. I do not wish to bring friction between you and I, but from my perspective over decades in IT - I must present a different way to look at this... Fault & blame are unhelpful, in this I totally agree; What I suggest as a more correct situation is to examine choices vs. awareness. Then it all seems to become very much more obvious. Choices vs. awareness also easily ex

This reply is a couple of responses in one=> My guess is that Foliator is saying it is a fight with win-doze itself; a fight that most folks have lost at - for around 20 years already.

I say to Foliator and anyone else feeling 'stuck': Quotefoliator...In order to downgrade a new Windows 10 machine, I'd have to purchase a copy of Windows 7. Even if I could find a legal copy at a reasonable price, it wouldn't surprise me if Windows 10 prevented me from downgrading successfully. I did a quick search at amazon and there are w7 offerings as low as $15 there...

I have become quite accustomed to using K-Meleon 75.1 Pro for many things each day.

Too much time spent by too many using browsers these days - more than any other type of app: Browsers turning into lobotomized chrome-zombies all around. When that final nail is driven and ALL there is to use are chrome-zombies, it will be time for me to cease internet usage. "Chrome is for bike fenders, NOT browsers."

Yes - having things work-alike DOES become important when one is using multiple browsers and switching back and forth during the course of one's days !!
