“In other news, Apple raised prices on Macs and announced abandoning another generation of still good hardware.”
... I can understand kicking my G5 to the curb, though 10.6 might have been nice level of support, but Intel Macs?

Thread opportunist: Which browser are people using on iPhone with proper text wrap/reflow for FR? I had been using Puffin, but it is acting up after the IOS 12 upgrade (often displays no network even when the network connection is fine and no, it doesnt seem related to whether data compression is enabled). I am having to grab my Android phone to read my fav website!

So just use another search site or change the default.
$9 billion? Betting on idiots, good idea actually.

I switched over to DuckDuckGo. Its pretty decent, not as attractive with the layout, but its pretty effective

I should’ve bought Apple stock when Warren Buffet did.

After the James Damore incident, I was motivated to make sure every device in the house (iPhones, iPads, multiple computers) did not use Google as the default search engine. I Duck.

I don’t use it. I use Bing, and get the points towards the rewards. Better homepage pics, and they honor federal holidays with proper holiday wallpaper themes.

Ha, I wish. It’s done well on a %-return basis, up 2000% or something, but needless to say, I started (and will undoubtedly finish) with a minuscule position compared to Warren’s.
To: ConservativeMind; McGavin999
Thanks, but neither Duck nor Brave support text reflow after enlarging font (they go back to the original tiny font).
