It's not about whether it can be disabled or not, but about the direction Canonical is heading to. Also, I wouldn't call installing Chromium from .deb in 20.04 exactly straightforward.

We have a joke about customs workers: A group of customs workers discuss a birthday present for one of them. One suggests, a car. Nah, too small, say the others. Another one, an apartment. Nah, too small... What about letting him work one s

Expecting to get a "codebase" when buying a software product would be the same as expecting getting blueprints for all the parts your car is made of. The concept of "buying a licence" is forced and by no means the only p

Most people associate Visual Basic with, well, Visual Basic (as in VB6 or VB.net), not with VBA. Even the top voted comment refers to VB6. "VBA editor" instead of "VB editor" would solve the confusion I guess.
