Absolutely agree. One thing that has only recently occurred to me is also this stuff showing up by default in new browser windows/tabs. I’ve used about:blank as my default page for probably 25 years or more, and that is probably my fir

It was always a con. A regulation had been in place since 2015, they repealed it in 2017, it never mattered. Some politicians tricked people into screaming about it, and I’m sure they were able to get some fundraising because of the screami
