I think most people would agree that this is much more superior than Cursor's "browser" from an engineering perspective -- it doesn't do much but does it well, as you pointed out. What it tells me is that "effective

These bastards drove out some nice stores near me (supposedly the lease ended and did not renew) and rebuilt the buildings in order to open an Amazon Fresh location. That Amazon Fresh store never opened. Now we have a giant empty storefront

I have www.msn.com added to the blocklist of my router's adblock settings so that I can stop seeing nonsense in Skype/Windows. It worked for a while. Of course, the real solution is to stop using Microsoft products, which I did.

> Paul Kinlan is a web platform developer advocate at Google That's enough reason for me to say, f** no. Google will try as hard as possible to promote this even if it's not technically the best solution.

That makes sense, but how would an attacker flash an older version of the firmware in the first place? Don't you need developer options and unlocking + debugging enabled?

I think you are confused. The issue is about getting locked out of your own data, which can easily happen in a number of cases. And you don't necessarily need to actually have your account banned. Let's just say you signed up for
