“It’s just since MS got the Mac view of “we’ll take care of everything” that I became disgruntled.”

They actually started that back during the DOS days with me, and it has just gotten worse and worse since. Win 7 was where they needed to stop and I would have been “O.K.” with that. Then came this absolute disaster called Win 10... sorry Bill, I paid for and own this machine, what gives you the right to own it forever just because of the OS? Done, Linux, ball and chain gone and now it belongs to me and only me outright period. MAC I never even fell for in the first place, never was worth the extremely arrogant inflated double price they have always asked. Here is something cool, You can use MAC ware on Linux. :)

Yeah, Win 7 was the line.

There’s got to be money in the Mac line MS has taken.
Curses on them both. I don’t care, just want what I want.

I don’t care if it is “achievable” or not, I have decided to be that pesky fly that will not go away and keeps landing in the same place over and over until he gets tired and moves somewhere else because of it. lol :)

If I pay for a product I want it to be mine, not just “renting” it or just buying a “subscription” without complete control and ownership over what I paid for. :)

Would someone actually buy a car if the manufacturer always owned it and told you what you can and cannot do with it? Where you can drive it to? Or who is allowed to ride in it? Or where you are only allowed to buy gas and it requires a subscription to do so? This is WINDOWS 10...

How does DuckDuckGo compare? Like unGoogle, it is just a different browser.

Technically they are both “search engines” rather than browsers. But from my experience now with using UnGoogle it is more “on topic” and detailed with results just as Google used to be. It takes advantage of goggle’s very extensive raw data base, as does DDG, but eliminates the controlled algorithms that steer your search. I am actually getting better results than I do with Duck Duck Go because there are no sponsor links added to and injected into the results that sometimes steer it off topic from what I am actually looking for.
