What browser do you use where history is at all usable for finding any specific thing? Combing through 150 or 500 by-domain YouTube entries with no other metadata? That thing that was a week or three ago on, uh, some domain with --ohhh look

My early 2000s girlfriend worked for forbes.com and told stories of the shitheads she worked with. I don't doubt you needed to know someone to get your name in the pages, but chances were they'd be clueless braggarts.

No, that requires decertification (revocation of their "police license"), which is fairly rare. Rarer than it should be, if you ask me.

They are getting to be so terrible, what kind of bureaucracy motivates them to throw away their crown jewel? Is Adwords the only self-made product they have that actually works anymore? Maybe their business model is only Adwords and selling
