I am convinced that Microsoft has done this to their old operating systems by sending “updates” that cause the system to run poorly so that you will be induced to upgrade.

I suspected something. A month or two ago, I downloaded the Apple "update," the new operating system, on my iPad Pro which I purchased brand new last Spring. I have noticed that the iPad is slower and not as responsive as before the update. I am not going to download the update on my iPhone 7 which I just purchased new during the Summer.

I don’t know about Micro$oft, but Firefox most certainly has. Except I ‘upgraded’ to Brave instead of the new flavor of Firefox that would have killed off my scriptblockers and spyware killers.

Linux Mint fixes that.

No doubt. I also think that Verizon purposely drops calls of older telephones to get you to upgrade phones.
