Still way too green or even yellow for any healthy human person, though. Definitely some serious liver or kidney issues.

Is that the one with the wine coloured sea..?

Worth remembering that Putin practically grew up in the KGB.

Flag it as phishing, which is what it is.

President Camacho was supposed to be a caricature of how bad it could get

Turns out it could get much, much, worse.

They're both more than dumb enough to believe that the other one is their patsy without realising they're really both Putin's puppets.

It would be kind of tragicomic if they weren't fucking up the world in the process.

At one particular point it was, if I recall correctly, though Chrome also (mis)implements some standards its own way, so Google might also use that as a form of attack against anyone who implements them properly, much like Microsoft did in the bad old IE6 days...

It's all a silly arms race, though, with Google coming up with new ways to enshittify the web for anyone not using Chrome or using ad blockers and Mozilla and ad blocker (and alternative YouTube frontend) developers trying to figure out what they broke this time and how to fix it, so what worked yesterday might not work today and work again tomorrow.

It's all a profoundly stupid waste of everyone's time and resources (all for a few more ad views) which will hopefully end up with Google losing their monopoly position on the web like the Internet Explorer bullshit did for Microsoft, but will keep being a major hassle for everyone until it does.

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/youtube-responds-to-delayed-loading-in-rival-browser-complaints, for instance.

Or https://www.zdnet.com/article/former-mozilla-exec-google-has-sabotaged-firefox-for-years/, for an older one.

As for how to fix it, Mozilla tend to do a pretty good job of eventually working around Google's bullshit, so keeping the browser updated is a good first step.

Since Google tends to roll this stuff out regionally and doing A/B testing, though, the best way is to identify what specific handicap they're hassling you with (which specific features don't work or don't work right, when they work properly on chrome), and look for an updated add on or userscript to fix that particular issue.

Or you can just look for a generic YouTube or Google Docs "enhancer" add on and hope it fixes the issue without making the whole user experience too different from what you're used to.

Mainly that Google intentionally makes its sites (like YouTube or Google Docs) slower and less useable when they detect you're using Firefox, and/or ad blockers (which you need Firefox to use, so same difference).

It's mostly fixable with add-ons and userscripts (and eventually, one hopes, with an antitrust lawsuit), but it's still a hassle.

Which shouldn't be in notepad to start with.

Which have absolutely no place in notepad, and no one asked for.

Why would anyone want those features in fucking notepad of all places?

They're absolutely useless when editing .txt, .ini, .bat, or .cmd files, which is what notepad is for.

Put them into Word, if you want that crap!
