    In the future, when Windows users say “advanced users can turn that crap off” they’ll mean the power button, not the group policy editor.

      A clock that doesn’t tell time, and they follow that quote up with

      which is understandable.

      No it’s not.

      I know a lot of people don’t like or use Windows, but the multiple timers and stopwatch functionality are genuinely useful and pleasant to look at. And “focus session” already exists in it.

    That website is an abomination. Try rejecting all the cookie permissions; it’s like they build in click delays.

      Unmodified Brave makes it look acceptable to me… What adblock are you using? And if it’s uBO, how many lists do you have turned on?

        I was on mobile at the moment, but I have ubo with sufficient lists on desktop. At any rate, that site is horrible.

          You’re absolutely right, but I am so worried about the state of your phone’s browser right now. Stay safe out there, use protection, etc

    Thankfully that’s one of the first things I uninstall with every Windows computer I set up.

    Downside is that this update might force a reinstall. Shit.

    Shit like this is exactly why I’m mostly free of windows now. Sure there’s some bits and pieces that I’m keeping just in case but I’m not regularly booting windows for anything now. It’s been about a month and besides some minor things it’s been nice.
