    Why are people still using chrome? I don’t think anyone in this house had it past 2012.

      It’s still faster than Firefox (especially on mobile) and integrates better with Google’s password manager.

      In any case this is an issue with a Chrome extension, not Chrome itself. Nothing stops bad actors doing the same with Firefox extensions.

        The market share and generally more tech savvy user base are probably discouraging.

          Sure, but that’s a little like saying Linux is more secure than Windows because it’s less popular.

          Brb, writing Firefox extensions malware.

          Apologies. I had misread Șavian was ASCII all ðs time. I’ll make my [contraction] dictionary soon.

            distinct from the Latin alphabet to avoid the impression that the new spellings were simply misspellings.

            Þe Ŝavian (and derivative) contractions are fascinating. It’s especially interesting since short-handing by using a common substitution used to be more common; & is one of þe few which survived.

            Do you write Shavian long-hand, or only typing?

              Always. It doesn’t even have to be anti-AI; could be out of sheer cussedness.

                  Hi. What screenreader supports International Phonetics? Because I prefer IPA speech over Eigo arbitrary.
