Are you looking at the part that says, "Get 5,000 free emails per month for 3 months?" I would interpret that as an introductory quota for new accounts; after three months the monthly quota will be reduced.

I messed with the low-end config a a bit, and it looked like the "Windows 10 Pro 64bit English,Spanish,French" license is more like around $100. Still a nice drop though. Too bad there's no way to choose "No OS installed

Right. I looked this morning, and AnkerDirect claims to be "...the sole authorized seller of authentic Anker products (other than Amazon) on the Amazon platform." I don't recall if this was true back at the time I bought th

I combine containers with running multiple copies of Firefox under different profiles. I've been using multiple profiles for years, and I think it still offers some advantages even with container support. The big one is that one inst

The extension also allows you to set that a particular site be assigned to, and automatically open in, a given container. I don't believe this particular feature is built into Firefox.

Yep, if you don't want to use Sync, user.js is an alternative. It's also helpful for sharing settings across multiple profiles. (For the latter, I do wish there was support for including other files...) There is a user.js project

Do you know if this might work for a PO Box as well? I once spoke to an agent at the window of the post office where my PO Box lives about this. I asked if I could put some sort of notice like the one you're suggesting, but the person

You can also toggle formatting with keyboard shortcuts. I wonder, if they introduced a keyboard shortcut that cleared all formatting, would that be a reasonable compromise?

This is true, but personally I've often found that this also prevents me from forcing a link to open in a new tab (via cmd-click) and have that new tab share cookies with its parent. Clicking on a link with target=_blank does work, tho
